About Stephen

Stephen Wallace is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people working through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and major life changes. He brings 16 years of clinical experience to sessions, combining practical therapeutic techniques with an emphasis on emotional healing and personal growth.

Background and approach

Stephen’s practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting and fatherhood issues, eating and food-related struggles, attachment and codependency patterns, and challenges tied to guilt, shame, and forgiveness. His style blends evidence-informed methods with a person-focused stance that honors each client’s story.

Stephen draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while also incorporating client-centered and existential perspectives to explore meaning, values, and authentic living. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing supplement this work to build coping skills, increase present-moment awareness, and support motivation for change.

Clients can expect an empathic, nonjudgmental partner in the therapeutic process who attends to emotional, relational, and sometimes spiritual dimensions of wellbeing. Stephen’s goal is to help people develop practical tools, clarify priorities, and move toward healthier, more satisfying ways of living.

Online therapy grounded in practical approaches

Stephen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients recognize and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions tend to focus on skill-building, problem-solving, and measurable steps that support symptom relief and better daily functioning.

He also integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to create an environment where clients feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for people seeking a therapeutic relationship that supports exploration of values, identity, and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context. He adapts techniques over time, combining strategies as needed to address presenting concerns and evolving priorities.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing care, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of support regardless of location within Ohio.
