About Stephen

Stephen Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in Miami, Florida. With 11 years of experience, he supports people navigating complex life challenges and works to help them build clearer understanding and practical coping strategies.

He adapts his approach to match each person's needs, drawing on a range of counseling styles to create a tailored plan. Working together with clients, he focuses on identifying and alleviating the issues that interfere with day-to-day life. His practice emphasizes work with individuals experiencing addictions, anxiety and stress, low self-esteem, persistent irrational beliefs, and a history of trauma. Stephen aims to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship that helps clients move toward greater functioning and resilience.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Stephen Herz

Stephen integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques into his online work to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and supports clients in exploring their thoughts and feelings at their own pace - it is well suited to people seeking empathy, understanding, and personal growth. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and can be effective for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors related to addiction. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that help with chronic stress, emotional regulation, and grounding after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for those with work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists like Stephen to provide consistent support across different formats, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
