My therapeutic work focuses on supporting individuals through diverse experiences, including social anxiety, relationship dynamics, workplace challenges, and personal identity exploration. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and reconnect with their inner strengths.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I collaborate with clients to create personalized pathways toward healing and self-discovery.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

It's still early but Steven is attentive and properly responsive regarding our conversations.
Steve is great. He’s helped me a lot over the months. Getting over a relationship, examining why I react the way I do, and helping me correct behaviors/take better control of my emotions. I’m less bothered by things that depressed me, I don’t talk negatively to myself. A lot of healthy changes have come from therapy with Steve.
With the guidance of Steven and hard work on my own, I have made significant and lasting changes in my life. Steven is very supportive and knowledgeable offering valuable insights into small changes that make a large impact.
He is by far the best therapist I have had to date and I would not choose anyone else. He is always on time and we have great sessions and all my questions are answered. He responds quickly to my messages and anything I ask about he makes it happen asap.
I wanted someone to give it to me straight, and that is what Steven Brenner does. Not too straight - he is helpful with advice and lets me know where I can avoid pitfalls. Most importantly, he helps me see that I have value and the expectations I should - and should not - put on people to give me what I need. I look forward to our sessions. He has helped me immensely.
Steven is a calm & compassionate and can relate to many struggles both personally & professionally. I have always had a hard time relating to other therapists with my business vs personal challenges and Steven is there for me with past experiences and real ways to work out (what appears to be) complex problems.
