If your mind won’t stop spiraling after a conversation… if you constantly wonder, “Do they really care about me?”… if you're walking on eggshells in fear of being too much or not enough—you’re not alone.

Hi, I’m Steven Monroe, LMFT, and I help people just like you—kind-hearted, self-aware individuals who want strong, meaningful relationships but feel overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, or self-doubt. Through individual therapy for anxiety in relationships, available to clients in Spring, Texas, we can work together to help you feel more emotionally secure, grounded, and connected.

About Me

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a deep passion for helping people untangle the complex emotions that come with relationships. My approach is warm, open, and deeply collaborative. Using a blend of emotionally focused therapy, CBT, family systems, and psychodynamic techniques, I meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

My own personal experiences with relationships and recovery allow me to connect in a way that’s both compassionate and real. I’m not here to judge, I’m here to understand and support.

When Anxiety Shows Up in Love

You might find yourself:

  • Overthinking every interaction

  • Craving reassurance but still feeling unsure

  • Avoiding closeness out of fear that it might not last

  • Feeling emotionally exhausted, even in loving relationships

This kind of anxiety can show up subtly or feel all-consuming. Whether it's anxious attachment or fear of rejection, therapy for emotional insecurity in relationships can help. You deserve support that sees the whole you, not just your symptoms.

What to Expect from Therapy

When you come to therapy with me, we start by slowing things down and creating a safe, judgment-free space. We'll explore:

  • The root causes of your anxiety (often rooted in past relationships or early attachment patterns)

  • Your current relationship dynamics and how they affect your self-esteem

  • Practical tools to help you manage anxious thoughts, set boundaries, and express your needs

I offer in-person sessions for clients in Spring, Texas as well as virtual therapy for added flexibility.

How Therapy Can Help

Clients I’ve worked with begin to feel:

  • More confident in themselves and their relationships

  • Less reactive and more secure

  • Better able to identify and communicate their emotional needs

  • Empowered to break free from anxious cycles

Whether you're in a relationship or single, this kind of support can help you create the connection you crave, starting from within.
