About Steven

Dr. Steven Mclain is an LPC practicing in Texas who focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He also attends to relationship and family difficulties as well as obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality disorders, and phobias. His approach emphasizes helping people identify practical strategies and personal strengths to manage symptoms and navigate difficult transitions.

Drawing on a foundation in cognitive behavioral methods alongside client-centered principles and motivational interviewing, he aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental environment that encourages exploration and growth. He frames therapy as a collaborative process in which clients' perspectives and goals guide treatment choices.

Dr. Mclain applies trauma-focused techniques when needed to address histories of abuse and other traumatic experiences while maintaining core values of empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard.

With three years of documented experience as an LPC in Texas, he offers sessions in multiple online formats to fit different needs and lifestyles. Prospective clients are invited to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin the process and schedule sessions according to his availability.

Approaches That Shape Online Care

Dr. Mclain frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy when working with online clients. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic coping. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and helping clients articulate their own goals so treatment aligns with their values and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to evaluate which methods feel most useful based on the presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, and they may adjust strategies over time as needed.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and types of interaction. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow follow-up or check-ins between longer sessions, and enable people in different parts of Texas to connect without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to these virtual formats to support ongoing progress and practical skill building.
