About Steven
Dr. Steven Levey brings 22 years of clinical experience to his work with people confronting stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Background and approach
He also addresses sleeping difficulties, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of related issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and seasonal affective disorder. Dr.
Levey is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York and offers supportive guidance aimed at practical coping and clearer decision making. Drawing on a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies, he helps clients identify patterns, test new approaches, and build skills that fit everyday life.
He emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and works collaboratively to prioritize immediate concerns while keeping sight of longer term goals. Sessions are offered in English and use formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Dr. Levey’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and does not accept international clients.
Practical approaches for online growth and coping
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive alternatives; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace, which supports self-understanding and motivation for change. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, and it can be helpful for reducing rumination, managing stress, and improving emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine skill-building, reflective exploration, and brief solution-focused steps to address immediate concerns while supporting longer term change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access care from home, and continue momentum between appointments through messaging when appropriate.
