About Stephen

Stephen Drozda is a licensed psychologist in Colorado with nearly five decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of mood and adjustment difficulties.

Background and approach

He brings a pragmatic, problem-solving focus to therapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies while integrating dialectical behavior therapy skills when helpful. His approach emphasizes practical steps clients can use to reduce symptoms, improve communication, and cope more effectively with life transitions.

Dr. Drozda trained at the University of Missouri-Columbia, earning graduate degrees in psychology including a Ph.D., and he holds the credential CO Psychologist 1255.

Over his career he has provided clinical services in outpatient clinics, hospitals, residential programs, nursing facilities, and independent practice, and he has taught in graduate counseling programs.

Now based in the Denver area for more than three decades, he offers therapy through video, phone, chat, and messaging and aims to collaborate with clients to set realistic goals and develop lasting skills for managing current and future challenges.

Integrating Practical Therapies for Online Care

Stephen Drozda utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving relationships. Solution-focused therapy is also part of his practice, concentrating on client strengths and immediate goals to build momentum toward tangible improvements.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors interventions so clients learn skills that fit their daily lives and challenges. This cooperative planning helps ensure treatment stays relevant and practical over time.

Online sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and consistency of care. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and to integrate brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice into a busy life, while preserving the same therapeutic focus on problem-solving and skill development.
