Steven Edwards, LCSW

Steven Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed to practice in Montana and Utah with 23 years of experience in the mental and behavioral health field. He works primarily with adults ages 18 to 90 and has supported people from a wide range of backgrounds, including those from rural communities and larger population centers. His clinical work centers on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression and mood disorders, address career challenges, and cope with major life changes.

He focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. In sessions he teaches practical skills to help clients regulate emotions and respond more effectively to everyday challenges, supporting people as they pursue a more fulfilling life. He also works with issues such as self-esteem, anger, forgiveness, guilt and shame, interpersonal communication, and the stresses of caregiving and life transitions.

Steven approaches therapy with a supportive, empowering stance, helping clients set realistic goals and build the skills needed to reach them. He checks messages a few times per day Monday through Thursday and aims to respond promptly when available. Messages received after 5:00 pm are typically answered the following day.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Steven uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building and problem solving. One common focus is skills-based cognitive work that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more balanced ways of approaching stress and anxiety; this approach is useful for mood concerns, worry, and decision-making challenges. He also emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills training, teaching strategies to manage intense feelings, reduce impulsivity, and improve day-to-day functioning for clients facing life transitions or caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques to fit the individual. Together they evaluate what is most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Steven is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and geographically spread clients. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into work and family commitments, and access licensed professionals without travel.
