Steven Marshall, LPC

Steven Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. He uses clear, practical strategies and a calm, respectful approach to make therapy feel manageable. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Marshall brings eight years of experience in counseling and completed a master's degree in counseling from Louisiana Tech in 2017. He combines different approaches so sessions fit the person rather than following one method alone. That means clients may work on thought patterns, emotions, and behavior in ways that make sense for their life. In sessions he blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with person-centered care to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods to address relationship patterns and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work when appropriate. The focus is on practical steps and skills that people can use between meetings. Marshall has experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, ADHD, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. He offers individual sessions and also has worked in couples, family, and group formats; he does not work individually with children under five years old. Sessions are offered in English and he is based in Louisiana. He aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can try tools that help them move forward.

How Steven’s approaches work online

CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this often means noticing unhelpful thinking, trying different responses, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression. EFT focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and helps people understand and change how they respond to each other to build stronger connections. EMDR is a trauma-informed method that uses guided attention to help process difficult memories and reduce their emotional intensity when that approach fits a person’s needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as people learn what helps them most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls support fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try brief coaching, or get support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different life situations.
