About Steve
Steve Scarborough is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. He also supports those dealing with relationship problems, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and career or life transitions. Steve works plainly and directly to help people find what matters to them and take steps forward.
He draws on existential ideas to focus conversations on meaning, choice, and responsibility. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build different ways of relating.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with practical tools to try between meetings. Steve has about 10 years of clinical experience as an LPC in Missouri. He combines several approaches so each person gets a plan that fits their situation.
That might include cognitive-behavioral strategies to change thinking and behavior, or ACT exercises to accept difficult feelings while acting toward values. People meet him for issues such as trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, ADHD, burnout and compassion fatigue, or problems rooted in family of origin and attachment wounds. He also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and impulsivity when that is helpful.
Sessions are offered in English and take place through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people face questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. Online sessions using this perspective often focus on what matters most to the person and how to live in line with those values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take action toward chosen values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by building flexible responses to difficult emotions.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to see which approaches fit the person's goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered by licensed professionals through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not possible, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules, choose lower-bandwidth options when needed, and use brief messages for shorter check-ins between longer appointments.
