About Steven
Steven Nordeen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. He brings six years of counseling experience and a down-to-earth approach to sessions. He emphasizes honest, straightforward work and centers the person's goals in therapy.
Steven's background includes roles in vocational rehabilitation and community mental health in Madison. He has worked as a case manager and forensic mental health counselor supporting people with severe and persistent mental illness through wellness and court-related challenges.
Background and approach
Before counseling he held varied jobs outside mental health which shaped his practical outlook. In sessions he leans on client-centered and humanistic ideas. That means he listens first, follows the client's lead, and offers clear feedback rather than telling people what to do.
He also uses elements of Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the person's needs. Steven often helps people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. He also has experience with issues like chronic illness and pain, communication problems, first responder concerns, and end-of-life topics.
He focuses on helping people tell their story differently and find practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are available in English and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He works with each person to set goals and try approaches that fit their day-to-day life.

How narrative and client-centered work translates online
Steven often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work focuses on separating the person from the problem and finding alternative, more helpful stories that open new choices. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's priorities so people set the pace and goals for their work together. A third common approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and builds small, practical strategies to change patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Steven treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out what methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in about what's working and adjusts the plan as needed so the process stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for brief updates or step-by-step coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing work, family, and daily life.
