Steven Michael Fuller

Steven Michael Fuller is a Licensed Marital & Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. He brings 45 years of experience to conversations about caregiving, aging, addiction, relationship struggles, and end-of-life concerns like hospice and bereavement. Michael prefers to be called Mike, Michael, or Mr. Fuller - whichever feels most comfortable for the person he is meeting.

He has worked in hospitals, public schools, youth services, university settings as an adjunct professor, health departments, and private practice. Those varied roles shaped a practical approach that focuses on clear goals and steady progress. Sessions often begin with building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood.

Mike uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered therapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices to address emotional pain and everyday struggles. He helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and move toward the life they want. Work may include coping skills, values clarification, and short-term behavior changes.

He supports people dealing with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, communication problems, family of origin issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. He also addresses impulsivity, ADHD-related challenges, men’s issues, and forgiveness or guilt problems. His long experience includes helping both younger adults and older adults facing later-life transitions.

Mike describes therapy as a partnership where trust grows and change becomes possible. He aims to help each person use their strengths to reach practical, meaningful goals and to navigate difficult chapters with steadier footing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small steps toward what matters. It supports issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes by linking actions to personal values. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering reflective listening and support so the client can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different methods, and adjust what’s used based on what helps most. That means treatment can shift over time to match changing needs and preferences.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered for this therapist. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity during caregiving, medical treatments, or relocation, and it can reduce travel time so people can meet more consistently. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting to help people practice skills between sessions and stay connected to their therapeutic goals.
