Stephen Edwards

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with experience in the social services field for over 10 years. My passion is working with people to help them grow, reach their potential, set healthy boundaries with others, and know their worth. I enjoy working with men and women. I believe that there are times in life when a little extra help and support can be tremendous, and a therapeutic relationship can truly make a difference in a person’s life during those times. In regard to scheduling, I tend to schedule my meetings with people directly as I have limited availability. Additionally, I require video sessions to meet with clients that I am working with. Please be prepared to meet by video, be stationary, and in a private location. I don’t complete sessions while people are driving or with others around to protect privacy and reduce the possibility of a distracted driver incident.

About

Stephen Edwards is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience in the social services field. He focuses on helping people grow, reach their potential, set healthy boundaries with others, and recognize their worth.

He works with both men and women on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, LGBT issues, relationship problems, family conflicts, career difficulties, and bipolar disorder. His approach is professional and approachable, centered on the therapeutic relationship as a source of support during challenging times.

Stephen holds clinical social work licensure in both North Carolina and Illinois and practices in Illinois. Because his availability is limited, he typically arranges sessions directly with clients and requires video sessions for those he is actively seeing.

Clients should be prepared to join video sessions from a stationary position and from a private setting. He does not conduct sessions while clients are driving or when others are present, in order to reduce distraction and potential safety risks during meetings.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.

A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect with therapists in the format that fits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules.

Licensed professionals provide online care, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, online sessions offer a practical, accessible way to get support while maintaining the core elements of therapeutic work.
