About Steven

Steven Gaddis is a licensed counselor with roughly 20 years of clinical experience, licensed to practice in both Texas and California. He holds the credentials LPC and LPCC - that is, Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and parenting issues, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. He has also provided services to individuals involved with the criminal justice system.

His approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while recognizing that a strong therapeutic connection is essential for effective work. He emphasizes building trust and an authentic rapport so that clients feel supported while pursuing meaningful change. Interventions are tailored to each person's circumstances and strengths, with practical strategies drawn from evidence-based methods and a focus on real-world goals.

Communication is an important part of his practice; he typically reviews incoming messages at least twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, to keep the therapeutic process moving. He values counseling as an opportunity for growth and recovery and welcomes the chance to partner with individuals as they take next steps toward the life they envision.

Integrating CBT and Motivational Support in Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - or CBT - helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood or coping challenges by teaching practical skills to manage thoughts and reactions.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own motivations for change and strengthening commitment to specific goals. This approach is useful for addressing addictions, ambivalence about change, and steps toward healthier routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps that lead toward a preferred future. It is action-oriented and can be helpful for relationship concerns, coping with life changes, and clarifying concrete goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are adapted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity between appointments. These formats support ongoing communication, routine skill practice, and timely check-ins with licensed professionals and therapists, helping people stay engaged with their goals regardless of geography or schedule.
