About Scott

Scott Verner is a licensed LMSW practicing in Michigan who works with adults addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and bipolar mood concerns.

Background and approach

He also supports people navigating family problems, communication challenges, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, trauma-related symptoms, phobias, and neurodiversity-related topics like autism and Asperger syndrome. With eight years of clinical experience, Scott brings familiarity with a wide range of emotional and behavioral difficulties and tailors his work to each client's presentation.

His therapeutic manner is described as warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion rather than labels. He adapts sessions and treatment plans to meet individual needs and combines practical skills with reflective discussion.

Scott uses evidence-informed methods to help clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and work toward clearer goals. Those who are ready to make changes will find a supportive professional who focuses on collaboration and empowerment in the helping process.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Scott commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in his online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and ADHD-related challenges. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help with strong emotions, relationship strain, and recurring behavioral difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor a combination of methods that fit the person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. This collaborative exploration helps refine what techniques and pacing feel most helpful over time.

Online therapy with Scott is offered through flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or travel is restricted.
