About Desiree

Desiree Steadman-Gallegos is a Utah-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who brings 16 years of professional experience to her practice. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflicts, and the challenges of grief and loss, offering steady support as they navigate difficult moments.

She treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s particular circumstances and goals. Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical guidance, helping clients identify steps they can take toward greater well-being and more satisfying relationships.

Desiree recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage, and she positions herself as a supportive partner in the process of change. Whether a client seeks relief from anxiety, wants to repair family or couple dynamics, or needs support through bereavement, she focuses on empowering clients to move toward a more fulfilling, happier life.

Approaches for online therapy and relational work

Desiree often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, notice unhelpful thoughts, and take meaningful steps even when emotions feel difficult. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes by focusing on actions that align with what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another foundation of her work, emphasizing how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings of security and connection. This approach can help people understand and shift patterns that affect intimacy, communication, and family dynamics.

She also draws on client-centered principles, offering an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes each person’s experience and goals. Together these approaches help tailor support to issues like relationship conflict, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Desiree works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods feel like the best fit for their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or another convenient location.
