More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 6 State: Idaho

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. Currently practicing in Idaho focusing on mental health/behavioral challenges, but have also worked in Utah, Kentucky, and Indiana working with challenges related to mental health, behavioral health, addiction, relationships, personality disorders, culture, spirituality, rural life, and homelessness. Some of the therapies which I utilize is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.

I believe that healing and understanding occurs when there is a strong client-counselor relationship which is caring, non-judgmental, and focuses from the client's point of view. I believe in the resiliency of people and the importance of bringing to the surface internal strengths and values which individuals can use to empower themselves with the ability to move forward in their lives. I also focus on the power of connection, and how connecting, whether it be to relationships, spirituality, values, the present moment, nature, or ones-self, leads to healing and growth.

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.

Overall

Great guy, actively listens and advocates for needs. Great memory too from appointment to appointment

Stephen is ridiculously easy to talk to. Honestly, I'm not sure I've ever been able to open up to a therapist quite as readily as I did Stephen. He is quick to listen and very intuitive. He exudes caring without being saccharine. He has been great to work with so far. This is not my first time in therapy but I think maybe this will be the most helpful.

In the first few weeks Stephen has helped me see a lot. He's already helped me figure out my jumbled head and is pushing me through greater times.

Stephen is the best!!! He is super knowledgeable about all of my situations that I need help with!! He has helped me so much since I began therapy with him!!

Always easy to talk with and very helpful

I tried to lose weight for years, nothing seemed to work. After a few sessions with Stephen I lost a lot of weight! I’m no longer weighed down by a job that had taken a toll on my health. I’m not weighed down by a lot of other junk floating in my head, I feel lighter than I have in years. Highly recommend.

Couldn’t ask for a better support , I’m so thankful

Stephen is great! He listens, provides great insight and comes from a non judgmental place. He has really helped me out during the time we have spent working together and would like Stephen to be assigned to me in the future.

I could not be happier with the value and benefit of Stephen Bunnell's perspective. I have learned so much about myself and developed tools that will serve me well in the future. It's such a pleasure to work with a therapist like Stephen - It's life-changing, and I am grateful to the BetterHelp service for the opportunity.

He’s the man. Great listener, makes me feel comfortable talking through things I’ve experienced, able to laugh with me and gives me solid practices to improve my day to day outlook on life.

Stephen is great, I feel heard and not judged.

Stephen had been an incredible asset in finding different and better methods for facing life on a daily basis. He is never pushy, has a variety of tools for any given scenarios allowing him to personalize my solutions, and is genuinely invested in my success. As a long time therapy avoider, I highly recommend Stephen to anyone seeking a knowledgeable,patient, and kind therapist.

Stephen is wonderful council, I have deeply appreciated his insight and thoughtfulness over the years

Stephen is an incredible listener who offers his insight in a non-judgmental way. He's very encouraging, supportive, funny, and down-to-earth. I felt comfortable sharing my challenges and experiences with him, knowing that being honest with him helped me be honest with myself. I was initially hesitant to seek therapy, but working with him taught me self-care skills that I'm sincerely grateful for. Thank you, Stephen!

Stephen made a believer out of me. He’s the first therapist I’ve had any luck with. He’s great to talk to and has amazing skill helping me to change my thought process. After meeting with him weekly for about four months, the improvements I made were drastic and I owe it to his guidance. One of the things I appreciate most about him is how down to earth he is. Every other therapist I’ve seen has been caught up in their own ego but Stephen really is salt of the earth and approachable.

Stephen Bunnell is a very caring and genuine Counselor. He gives good feedback and ideas for me to progress.

Great therapist!!

Stephen is a wonderful therapist and has helped me to understand myself and my surroundings in a deeper and fulfilling way. My therapist and going to therapy have helped improve my quality of life greatly.

Stephen has been great to work with even with this being my first exposure to therapy. He always keeps the conversation moving in a comfortable and productive direction and never pushes past anything I’m not ready for.

He do good

Stephen is nothing short of amazing. He is emphatic, understanding; and patient. I’m grateful to have found him through BetterHelp

Stephen is a gem! He has great empathy and tools to help me grow, I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for help

I like him as a therapist more than any of the other therapists I've had.

I was honestly a little nervous going into therapy. I have tried it before in the past with four different therapists and none of them were helpful in any way. But fifth time is a charm cause Stephen is great. He’s pleasant to talk to, makes very interesting points, and genuinely seems interested to hear about my thoughts. Could not recommend him more.

Easy to use

I can't say enough good things about Stephen Bunnell. But I think the best review I can leave him is that I'm paying for this out of my own pocket. I've had a referral out there for over a year. I got a call a couple of weeks ago that my number came up for a therapist that my insurance would cover. No thanks! The relationship, understanding and progress I've made with him is worth every penny. If want a down to earth therapist that will truly help you navigate through this journey you need him.

Stephen has been a pretty solid therapist, and I feel that it had been worth the time I’ve spent talking to him about how to get better.

Stephen has helped me very much managing with my mental health issues in only 3 sessions

Stephen is a great listener, and very personable. He also provides great insight and asks very thought provoking questions. Highly recommend!

He is really so awesome! Listens and is always on time.

I can be myself when I talk with Stephen. He listens and is responsive and thoughtful. I appreciate knowing there is never judgement from him, and all of his insight has been beneficial for me.

Asks very good questions and helps me see things from a different perspective.

Stephen is wonderful! His genuine care and humor made each session enjoyable and worthwhile! We've recommended him to several family members and friends!

Stephen has been incredibly helpful in a myriad of ways, through separation, trauma and a whole host of changes. At the very, very least I always knew I had someone to talk to, who was safe, and who laughed at my jokes. He's been a godsend!

I think Stephen is easy to talk to and a good listener. I feel he has really helped me with my situation and learning to deal with it. He also suggests things you can focus on in between appointments to further assist you! Thank you for helping me.

Mr.Bunnell is very positive and knowledgeable.takes time to listen and asks questions that provoke thought and introspection. Offers practical help and solutions

Stephen is an amazing therapist and is very encouraging and supportive.

Stephen has a likability about him that makes you feel that he truly gets you. He has a way about bringing around the theme of the visit so that I can see where improvements need to be made and positivity needs to spring in. I am so thankful that he matched as my therapist!

Down to earth. Always listening with intent and ready to help try to dictate back his understanding of your problems to better target the problems. Thanks Stephen

We are so appreciative of Stephen! He is so easy to talk to, incorporates just enough humor to keep things comfortable, and listens and counsels with great compassion and understanding. We would recommend him without hesitation!

Wonderful guy! Very easy to get to know and provides great insight as he gets to know me and my personal points of emphasis

Stephen is a caring, funny, understanding, and talented therapist. He knows how to ask the right questions to help you understand yourself and your situation better. He is good at reading people and knows when to be humorous or serious appropriately. I have really enjoyed my therapy with Stephen because it is easy to connect with him and feel like I am being heard and understood. He does a great job at helping you stretch yourself and your own understanding of who you are. Most importantly, I feel respected and valued when I meet with Stephen.

Stephen has been so helpful for me. He has a very even, non judgemental view of things and is good at seeing things from multiple perspectives that give me a lot to think about. He has really helped me shift my perspective and my approach to things.

Great guy, very trusting

Stephen is great! He is very easy to talk to and has a talent for providing insightful perspectives.

Stephen has been a wonderful help ever since I chose to give BetterHelp a try. I can say I have no regrets with this service.

Stephen is very easy to talk to and he seemed to understand what I was trying to express. He very much focused on having me recognize the feelings I had and why. He made sure he understood what I wanted from therapy. I’m using my free sessions to shop around and he is definitely on the short list.

Fantastic listener. Great insight and validation. He is extremely good at his job!

Stephen is amazing I would highly recommend!
