About Steven
Steven Shampain is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience in Tennessee. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting strain. He also lists support for LGBT issues, relationship matters, ADHD, and career stress among his areas of focus.
He describes an insight-driven approach that looks at the reasons behind thoughts and behaviors. That means he helps people notice patterns and understand why they react the way they do. He combines this with practical, forward-focused steps so clients can try things between sessions and see what helps.
His stated styles include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Mindfulness. Those methods shape conversations about values, thinking styles, and everyday habits. Sessions tend to mix reflection with small, doable practices aimed at reducing distress and building routines that fit daily life.
Steven says he supports open discussion about identity, politics, and religion when those topics affect well-being. He is willing to share personal experience when it helps build trust and understanding. He frames his role as listening without judgment and offering guidance so clients can take practical steps forward.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. It can help with anxiety, stress, and finding direction during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and create space to choose responses. It supports coping with stress, grief, and cravings related to addiction.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needs change.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many adults choose online sessions because they can fit short check-ins into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or meet when schedules are tight. Online work lets therapists use ACT and CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing in ways that fit everyday life without promising any specific session type.
