More about me

Licensing: LCSW-R Years in Practice: 46 State: New York

My approach to my clients is very focused on finding solutions based on the issues they bring to therapy. In my 43 years of experience I have dealt with depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, grief and loss. I have worked with many individuals who have been traumatized at all stages of life. I believe in the use of positive, client centered therapy which empowers people to recognize their strengths and abilities to reach their goals. I am also capable of working with persons who have lost their spiritual direction and feel they have lost their connection with their Christian values. I have recently worked for 4 years with people with neurodevelopmental disorders such as those on the Autism Spectrum and with severe intellectual disabilities. I believe that everyone can learn and grow no matter what they are dealing with!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I appreciate Steven's care and concern for my complicated issues. I appreciate his willingness to let me be open and honest with him no matter how uncomfortable that is. I appreciate his non-judgmental response to me confessing everything to him, so that I feel safe and have no reason not to be open and honest with him.

When I started with Steven Paro I was in an extremly bad place. I was severely depressed in my own head, getting in my own way. Yet he helped me get through the muck that clouded my head and helped me understand why I think the way I do. I can honestly say he has helped me to no end. I will forever use the techniques he has taught me and use the coping mechanism he has helped me curate. I can not recommend him enough
