About Steve

Steve Hammond is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience. He meets people where they are and listens first. He asks practical questions and helps clients map out clear next steps they can try between sessions.

He focuses on everyday problems that tend to pile up - stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, substance concerns, and parenting strains. He also addresses relationship struggles, intimacy-related questions, sexual orientation issues, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abandonment.

Background and approach

His practice includes attention to fatherhood issues, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, and forgiveness work. Steve blends several well-known approaches to build a plan that fits each person. He values straightforward talk and practical strategies you can use right away.

Sessions tend to include goal-setting, skill practice, and checking what worked since the last meeting. Steve draws on his Christian faith as part of his personal perspective, while keeping the focus on each client's goals. He aims to be nonjudgmental, especially with people who have had painful experiences with faith communities.

He works from his independent practice in Georgia and speaks English and Dutch. People who are looking for clear steps, honest conversation, and a calm presence often find his style helpful. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgment. It helps people who need a space to talk through identity, parenting worries, or relationship strain and guides goals based on what matters to the client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and homework to change thinking and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that fit your needs. That collaborative decision means techniques can be adjusted as you progress or as circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can be a quick check-in between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy days, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, and make it easier to keep consistent contact during life transitions.
