About Steve
Steve Hammond is a licensed professional counselor with more than 11 years of experience. He listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people make practical plans to move forward. Steve practices in Georgia and speaks English and Dutch.
He aims to create a calm space where people can talk about tough topics. Sessions focus on clear communication and problem solving rather than jargon. He combines narrative ideas with person-centered care to help people tell their story and find what matters to them.
Background and approach
Steve uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical skills help with strong emotions and gaining steadiness in stressful moments.
He also incorporates motivational interviewing when people want to change habits like substance use or patterns that cause regret. That work is practical and goal-oriented, with small steps and regular check-ins. Steve pays attention to relationships, identity, and life transitions when they shape what someone brings to a session.
People often come in stressed, anxious, grieving, or worn down by repeated conflict. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, parenting concerns, body image, and addiction. His approach is straightforward, compassionate, and focused on what a person can do between sessions to feel better.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Steve directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Steve draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell the stories that shape their lives and separate problems from identity. That approach can be useful when someone wants to rethink roles, labels, or recurring patterns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where the person's goals lead the work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits through concrete exercises.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods over time based on goals, reactions, and progress. Together they pick tools and pace that make sense for the individual.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let you have a fuller conversation and see visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you want a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, mood tracking, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while still using narrative and skills-based work to address concerns.
