Stephen Schottgen Jr is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Alabama and Mississippi, with 13 years of professional experience. He holds the credentials AL LICSW 4268C and MS LCSW C9908, reflecting his clinical social work licensure in both states.
He works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, depression, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, sleep difficulties, career challenges, relationship and family issues, and coping with life changes. He also offers supportive care for compassion fatigue and provides LGBT-affirming, male-focused counseling.
Stephen approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he tailors conversations and treatment plans to match each individual’s specific needs. He recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and supports clients as they take that first step.
Many people ask whether therapy delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
An important benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into busy lives.
Each therapist offering online care is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they need a different fit. Online therapy provides an accessible way to get professional support for many everyday mental health needs.
