About Steve
Steve Scarborough is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and parenting strain. He brings practical focus to big problems like trauma, grief, stress, self-esteem, and life changes. Steve writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel doable for busy lives.
He uses Jungian ideas alongside cognitive behavioral tools to help people understand patterns that repeat in their relationships and choices. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, naming difficult feelings, and trying new ways of responding.
Background and approach
He also draws on acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify personal values and set meaningful goals. Steve has ten years of experience working with people dealing with complex concerns such as bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and codependency. He helps clients untangle family of origin issues, attachment wounds, and problems with impulsivity or control.
He also supports those coping with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Clients can expect a blend of conversational, reflective, and skills-based work. Some meetings emphasize talking and insight; others focus on concrete steps and coping strategies.
Steve adapts techniques from client-centered and attachment-based work to match each person’s needs. He practices in Missouri as an LPC and offers sessions in English. Therapy is available through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with session formats that include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Jungian-informed work looks at recurring life patterns, personal symbols, and inner conflicts to help people make sense of repeated struggles. This approach can help when relationship patterns, identity questions, or family of origin issues feel stuck.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and building committed action toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and those who want practical steps tied to personal goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It can aid people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, intimacy issues, or difficulty trusting others.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer. Clients often mix insight work with skill-building to find what really helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and texting allow brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
