About Steven

Dr. Steven Levey is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns. He works with individuals facing grief, low self-esteem, career shifts, sleep problems, ADHD, and the everyday strain of life changes.

He also addresses intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue. Steven keeps sessions practical and focused. He listens first, then helps clients set clear goals.

Sessions often include simple strategies to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and manage difficult emotions.

Background and approach

He encourages small, doable steps that fit into busy lives. His background includes long experience in New York practice as a licensed clinician, listed as LCSW. That practical experience informs how he helps people handle common and complex problems.

He uses a mix of well-known approaches to match each person’s needs. In the room, conversations move between understanding what’s happening now and trying tools that change patterns. He helps clients work through family conflict, parenting strain, abandonment worries, and issues like jealousy or guilt.

Career concerns, midlife questions, and finding life purpose are also common topics. Therapy here can look like coaching at times and deeper emotional work at others. The focus is on improving everyday functioning and feeling more confident in relationships and work.

Sessions aim to leave people with tangible skills they can use between meetings.

Online support

Approach and online care that adapts to your needs

Dr. Levey commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions, which is useful for building self-esteem and sorting out relationship or parenting stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people see each other and work through communication patterns. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text allow short check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, and flexible scheduling. These options help make therapy easier to fit into work, parenting, and other daily responsibilities.
