More about Warren

  • 35 years' experience
  • Male
  • Psychologist

I have had a licensed private practice as a psychologist for more than 35 years. In my practice, I have focused on issues of stress, anxiety, avoidance, self-control, relationship problems, and life restructuring. Before my full-time private practice, I was a tenured professor of clinical psychology at two major universities. I was the director of clinical training at one university and the chairman of the Psychology Department at the other. I also have experience working as a divorce mediator, a parenting consultant, a psychological evaluator, and a life coach.

My approach to therapy is goal specific, action oriented, and solution oriented. It involves skill building and awareness and it focuses on empowering the client to develop the skills and control necessary for meaningful and lasting change.

The client is helped to create specific, achievable, and realistic goals. The goals are refined and organized and are placed within a workable time-frame. Strategies to achieve the goals are developed, practiced, and revised. Personal awareness, effective choice, method, and skill-building are emphasized. Awareness and self-management methods are developed. The result is the acquisition of desired changes, restored feelings of well-being and self-confidence, and a renewed sense of self-control and independence.

I appreciate how important the issues are to those who have entrusted me with their confidence. I look forward to helping my clients resolve those issues. I love what I do and have been gratified by my clients’ enthusiasm and success.

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.

I want to express my immense gratitude for the transformative impact Dr. Steinman has had on my life. I am and will be forever grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced in my life, thanks to our sessions. His expertise and guidance have been instrumental in helping me vastly improve my relationships (with my partner, friends, and family). From our sessions, I’ve gained a better understanding of myself and learned valuable communication and conflict resolution strategies. I’ve been working with him for 9 months and can say that working with him is the single most transformational effort I’ve made in improving my life. Dr. Steinman’s dedication to my mental health and well-being has been unwavering. His guidance is consistently thoughtful and feels personally catered to me. His generosity in promptly responding to my messages during stressful situations instills a sense of confidence in me during those challenging times. After every session I walk away with new knowledge about myself and/or practical tools to navigate complex situations. One of my favorite parts about him is his ability to distill complex concepts into digestible, memorable insights. In short, Dr. Steinman’s ability to foster self-discovery, enhance relationships, and improve mental well-being is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Steinman to anyone seeking an experienced and compassionate therapist who’s dedicated to creating lasting positive change in the lives of his clients.
