Dr. Steven Robinson
Hello! My name is Dr. Steven Robinson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California and my Doctorate from Walden University. I have been practicing for 7 years.
I help adolescents, young adults and LGBTQ+ populations struggling with depression, anxiety and self esteem issues by providing a judgment free environment where they can navigate the challenges of modern society.

First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then discuss goals for therapy. I will solicit input from clients on treatment goals, which is essential in creating tailored plans in which the client is invested in. This approach assists in establishing a strong sense of self and a feeling of independence and control for clients.
Strengths
As a provider who has worked with at risk youth and young adults I believe my greatest strengths as a provider is the ability to connect with youth by respecting their individuality and fostering an environment where we focus on strengths as this population is oftentimes misunderstood and judged harshly. This approach has allowed me to develop a strong rapport which in turn has been instrumental in engaging clients in the treatment process.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are adolescents, young adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals seeking greater self-understanding, acceptance, and direction. Many feel misunderstood or disconnected as they navigate questions of identity, relationships, and purpose. Together, we explore their values, beliefs, strengths, and goals, creating a supportive space where they can build confidence, develop authenticity, and move toward a life that reflects who they truly are.
Treatment methods
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
As a Culturally sensitive therapist, I utilize this type of psychotherapy to considers a client's cultural background, values, and beliefs in order to provide the most effective treatment. Tailoring mental health interventions to suit an individual's cultural context is important because it can help clients feel comfortable which in turn can lead to better engagement and more sustainable outcomes.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that I use with adolescents and adults with numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and many others through the modification of dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs.
Grief Therapy
As a clinician I utilize grief therapy to help survivors adapt to the loss of a loved one and be able to adjust to a new reality through various treatment modalities such as CBT. This approach to grief counseling focuses on helping the client identify negative thought patterns and replace them with more positive thoughts as some negative thought patterns can make it difficult for a person to process their grief.
Faith-based therapy
As a clinician who also has a background in philosophy and religious studies, I am able to integrate a client’s faith into treatment if that is something that the client desires. This may take the form of talking about how one’s faith is impacting the issue that brings them to therapy. It may also involve talking about how one’s faith is being used as a coping skill.
Motivational Interviewing
As a clinician I utilize Motivational interviewing as a counseling method to help clients resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities and to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. It is a practical, empathetic, and short-term process that takes into consideration how difficult it is to make life changes.
