Virtual Psychological & Coaching Services
WARREN M. STEINMAN, PH.D
Licensed Psychologist and Life Coach
Good therapy empowers. It seeks solutions and sharpens problem-solving skills. It is goal-directed, focused, and strategic. Whether for the purpose of improving relationships, controlling emotions, reducing fears and anxieties, enhancing self-esteem, ending avoidance, or accomplishing other important personal goals, successful therapy empowers, teaches, overcomes barriers, and eliminates tensions. With an objective focus, commitment, and well-designed strategies, effective change can be generated and maintained. Unwanted habits are eliminated; stress and anxiety are reduced; avoidance is confronted; self-control and self-confidence are strengthened, important skills are sharpened. In the process, the client gains a better understanding of him/herself and becomes better at understanding others.
METHOD
In my approach, the client is helped to define meaningful goals and is empowered to become his/her own problem solver. The therapy is solution-oriented, skill-based, and strategic. Clients become aware of how their own thoughts, feelings, actions, and inactions determine what they experience. Objective strategies for achieving goals are developed, refined, and practiced. Skills are developed and sharpened. The focus is on self-management, awareness, and skill development. The client is empowered with the skills, perspectives, confidence, and personal control necessary to resolve present issues and deal effectively with issues they may encounter in the future.
​
The concerns clients bring to therapy are important. It's understood that therapy often can be scary and may be stressful. The courage many clients bring to therapy is remarkable. I feel honored by the trust my clients place in me to help them achieve their goals. Be assured, this a safe and caring place to work on yourself. I am gratified by the success and enthusiasm shown by my clients.
