01About Stephen
Stephen Maffei is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with seven years of experience. He holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Holy Cross and has worked in a variety of settings, including internships at University Medical Center in New Orleans and the Thomas E. Chambers Counseling and Training Center.
Stephen describes counseling as a conversation aimed at helping people find clearer paths forward.
Background and approach
He focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, career concerns, and coaching around performance. He also helps with communication problems, forgiveness, men's issues, self-love, and workplace difficulties. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and manage.
Stephen uses straightforward techniques in sessions. He reflects back what a person shares, asks questions to clarify, and helps identify practical steps that can lead to change. He invites people to speak up when something is unclear so sessions stay useful and on track.
Stephen works with people who want help sorting feelings and making sense of pressure from work or sport. He offers a calm, direct style that emphasizes real-world actions and small shifts that add up. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
He encourages anyone who feels nervous about starting therapy to acknowledge that asking for help takes courage. If someone thinks Stephen might be a good fit, he suggests starting with a short intake and then deciding together how to move forward.

04Online support
How therapeutic styles fit into online care
Stephen blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people tackle everyday problems. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That conversation is ongoing - approaches can be adjusted as goals and needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in during a break, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to fit therapy into a busy life.
