About Steven
I'm Steven Clemens, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) in private practice in Carrboro, North Carolina. I provide individual counseling, couples counseling, and group psychotherapy for adults age 18 and older.
I started Triangle Wellness Counseling because I believe that people deserve access to thoughtful, evidence-informed care that treats them as whole people — not diagnoses, not checklists. My work is grounded in the idea that meaningful change is possible, and that the counseling relationship itself matters.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and a range of other concerns. I also have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent adults and adults navigating parenting-related concerns.
My Approach
I draw on a range of evidence-informed approaches — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care — selected based on each client's needs and goals.
I don't apply a single method to every person. What works for one person may not work for another, and I take that seriously. My goal is to work collaboratively with each client to develop a plan that fits their life, their goals, and their circumstances.
I believe that honest communication about how things are going — including what is and isn't working — is part of good care. You will always have a voice in your treatment.

Steven has supported me through one of the most difficult periods of my life, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a therapist as dedicated and knowledgeable as he is. He is both insightful and compassionate, consistently offering thoughtful guidance and genuine support. When my schedule changed and I could no longer attend our in-office sessions, he went out of his way to accommodate me by offering video conferencing, allowing me to continue my sessions. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone in need of therapy.
