About Steven
Steven Flanary is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life challenges. He focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Steven keeps sessions collaborative and goal-focused so clients know what they're working toward.
He draws on several therapy styles and adapts them to each person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Steven listens first, then suggests techniques you can try between visits.
How Steven works
Steven has eight years of clinical experience in outpatient care, inpatient mental health, telehealth, and crisis support. That variety means he’s used to short-term problem solving and longer-term work when needed. He uses what fits the situation rather than one fixed method.
Common concerns he addresses include relationship issues, grief, parenting strain, burnout and compassion fatigue, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar and mood concerns, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress. He also helps people facing attachment, abandonment, and communication challenges. In sessions you can expect a mix of listening, skill teaching, and real-world practice.
Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. The tone is pragmatic and respectful, aimed at helping people regain control and move toward the life they want.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns. Online sessions can look at communication and trust issues and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of each session, with the therapist providing a nonjudgmental space to talk and reflect. This helps when someone needs acceptance and a clearer sense of their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide together which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins or more frequent skills practice when needed. Confirm the exact session options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
