Stephen Velasquez, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has walked alongside people through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the big transitions life throws our way. My style is warm, practical, and collaborative. I meet you where you are, listen closely, and we build a plan together rather than me handing you a one-size-fits-all formula. I draw on evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), while keeping the work grounded in your real life and goals. Whether you’re navigating a tough season on your own, working through challenges as a couple, or supporting a child, my aim is to help you feel heard, steadier, and more in control. I offer both in-person sessions in Bentonville and secure telehealth, and I’m currently accepting new clients, with a free introductory call to make sure we’re a good fit.
