About Steven
Steven Flanary is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah and Idaho with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting and caregiving pressures. He also helps with eating and sleeping issues, attention challenges, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and life transitions.
Steven’s practice is practical and straightforward. He asks what matters to each person and focuses on clear goals. Sessions involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns that get in the way, and practicing skills that make daily life easier.
He draws from attachment-based and client-centered ideas to understand connection and trust. He also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior tools to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Existential perspectives help when people struggle with meaning, commitment, or big life questions.
In sessions Steven helps identify small, concrete steps toward change. He uses exercises and homework when they help someone get unstuck. He also supports caregivers and people coping with chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, aging issues, and the stress that comes with medical or life crises.
People who see him can expect a collaborative process that balances support with practical work. He invites clients to start from wherever they are and to set goals that fit their life. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling process to arrange an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How Steven’s approaches translate to online sessions
Steven uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape stress and trust. That approach helps when problems are tied to feeling disconnected, abandoned, or unsure about closeness. It looks at patterns in how people relate and what they need to feel more connected.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on practical steps like identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing mood shifts. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Steven will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what seems most useful now. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, DBT skills, or a mix fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and medical schedules. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and options that don’t require being on camera if that helps someone stay consistent with care.
