About Steven
Steven Liscum is an LCMHC licensed in North Carolina with 10 years of clinical experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on body image, communication problems, loneliness, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Steven aims to make sessions easy to understand. He listens and asks simple questions to clarify what matters most. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions to notice small changes.
His approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. He works with clients to identify patterns that keep problems going and then tests new ways of responding. Sessions often include practicing skills aloud, trying new behaviors, and reviewing what worked or didn’t work afterward.
Steven draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, relationship conflict, and low self-esteem. He explains methods in plain language and checks in often to make sure they fit each person’s life and schedule. That helps clients know why a particular step is being suggested.
People who find social situations or speaking up difficult can bring those concerns to sessions. The first meeting focuses on what the person wants to change and a few immediate, manageable steps to begin. To move forward, clients follow the site’s process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
Evidence-based approaches and how online work fits
Steven uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills people can practice. One common approach he uses teaches specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, like breathing strategies and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These help people reduce avoidance and try new behaviors in social settings.Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life experience. This helps with low self-esteem, negative body image, and the anxious self-talk that can make social situations feel harder. Each method is explained in plain terms and practiced during sessions so clients can see how it applies to daily life.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Steven will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, comfort level, and schedule. He checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is helpful.
