About Steven

Steven Murray is a licensed master social worker who brings five decades of experience to his practice in Michigan. He frames therapy as practical help and encouragement. He aims to be a coach and cheerleader while helping people move toward the life they want.

He has worked in hospitals, clinics, group homes, and schools over many years. That background means he has seen many kinds of stress, mood and anxiety problems, trauma and abuse, and long-term mental health challenges.

Background and approach

He also helps people with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, and life transitions. Steven uses Attachment-Based Therapy alongside other approaches to help people understand connection patterns that matter in relationships. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy appear in his work when people want short-term goals and practical steps. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. He offers support, new perspectives, gentle direction, and some humor when it fits.

He values technology and accessibility, and he speaks and writes in plain English so conversations stay clear. Outside of clinical work he promotes music and nature for wellbeing. His interests in reading and current events shape an engaged, down-to-earth style that many people find approachable.

Online support

How online work and therapeutic approaches come together

Steven often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns affect emotions and behavior, helping people notice and change interaction habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shows up as tools to accept uncomfortable thoughts and focus on values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to what has and hasn’t worked, and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. That means starting with a plan and adjusting it based on what feels useful in practice.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat helps with quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, care routines, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
