About Steve

Steve Hammond brings more than a decade of counseling experience to his work, combining evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-focused stance.

Background and approach

He practices in Georgia as an LPC and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and narrative techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, and a wide range of relationship and identity questions. His background includes 11 years of practice and a focus on practical strategies as well as reflective exploration.

He approaches conversations with curiosity and respect, inviting clients to articulate goals and try concrete steps toward change while also attending to deeper stories and meaning. Steve is comfortable addressing issues related to sexual orientation and intimacy, and he seeks to create a nonjudgmental space for people who feel harmed by prior religious experiences.

Sessions often blend skills-building, perspective shifts, and personal narrative work to support coping with life changes and restoring day-to-day functioning.

How evidence-based approaches meet online convenience

Steve commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping challenges. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to provide empathic, non-directive support that prioritizes the client's own goals and pace. A third strand in his work is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which introduces practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Steve collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. He emphasizes working together to trial strategies, reflect on what helps, and adjust direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Steve is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and allow clients to engage in skills practice and therapeutic conversations in ways that suit their daily routines.
