My name is Steve Brown, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Northeast Ohio and seeing clients throughout the state via telehealth.

My client focus I have found that my approach is effective for teens and adults struggling with the challenges and stressors of life, which take the form of depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. I work to help my clients build the skills to navigate the challenges of life, to feel better about themselves, and to develop a more positive outlook. My communication style My communication style is calm, soft-spoken, and reassuring. I help clients feel relaxed and comfortable talking to me and listening without judgment. How I help clients reach goals My approach to goal setting with clients is to identify their strengths, their needs, and their goals for treatment. We work together to develop achievable goals and identify steps toward success. My journey to becoming a provider I decided to become a therapist because I have always felt called to help other people. I have always been drawn to helping other people through difficult times and enjoy seeing them overcome their challenges. My first session with clients In our first session, you can expect us to assess how you have been feeling recently, and we will work to learn about you in order to identify how I can best help you. The first session is about getting to know each other, building a connection, and getting a sense of where we will go.

I try to provide my clients with assistance on determining what their primary goals are in therapy and what problems are standing in their way. My ideal client is someone who recognizes that they want to change something in their lives that is preventing them from moving forward. Ideally, they are self-motivated (not engaging in therapy because a family member or loved one is pressuring them to change). In addition, the client is willing to work on their problems outside of the therapy session and put into practice the skills they have learned. My approach combines both empathy and practicality. While I value good rapport with a client I also want to provide them with the tools they need to better their lives.
