Steven Michael Fuller, LMFT, LPC

Steven Michael Fuller is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and major life changes. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marital & Family Therapist in Oklahoma, and he goes by Mike, Michael, or Mr. Fuller - whichever feels most comfortable to the person he is working with.

He has practiced for 45 years in many settings including hospitals, youth services, a university as an adjunct professor, health departments, public schools, and private practice. That range means he has supported people dealing with addiction, ADHD, sleep troubles, parenting strain, career questions, and issues tied to aging and serious illness.

Mike aims to build a relationship where a person feels heard and respected. Early sessions focus on understanding where someone is emotionally and where they want to go. He works collaboratively, using a person’s strengths to move toward those goals.

Approaches he uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based work. In practical terms that often means learning ways to notice thoughts without getting stuck, practicing attention and relaxation skills, and clarifying values to guide choices.

He emphasizes steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes. His long experience informs a straightforward, patient style that helps people tackle problems like relationship stress, caregiver strain, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action consistent with those values. It teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what someone says, and building trust so a person can find their own solutions; this is useful for grief, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness exercises or hypnotherapy-style relaxation in a familiar setting. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to practical concerns and daily routines while focusing on steady progress toward the goals a person sets.
