About Steve
Steve Hammond is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with more than 11 years of experience. He listens closely and helps people name what feels overwhelming. He focuses on practical next steps that clients can try between sessions.
Steve blends several well-known approaches to tailor work to each person. He uses client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in the person's priorities. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build different patterns of action.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. He also works with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics. He aims to create straightforward plans for coping with life changes and relationship challenges.
Steve describes his practice as compassionate and nonjudgmental. He says faith informs his approach for some clients, but he does not preach. He pays attention when people say they were hurt by church or religious communities and offers a respectful space to work through that.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Steve asks questions, reflects what he hears, and helps people set concrete goals. He encourages small experiments between meetings so clients can test new ways of relating and managing intense emotions.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding your priorities and helping you steer conversations toward what matters most. It’s useful when you want a therapist to follow your lead and reflect what you say so you can decide next steps together.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking that contribute to feeling stuck and then practice alternative responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it breaks issues into manageable steps.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which approach or combination fits your needs and goals. That means checking results and adjusting methods as you progress rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Others prefer in-person visits for longer, deeper work. Discussing preferences and practical constraints will help set up sessions that fit daily life and your goals.
