About Scott
Scott Verner is a licensed master social worker with eight years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem. He also supports those coping with anger, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns.
Scott uses straightforward, interactive sessions that focus on what matters most to each person. He listens first, then works with clients to build practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
His style is warm and respectful, and he avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions draw on evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. He offers mindfulness techniques and solution-focused planning to help people manage symptoms and handle everyday challenges.
Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s goals and pace. Scott has worked with a wide range of concerns across mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive issues, trauma-related symptoms, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. He also addresses communication problems, family problems, and issues tied to guilt, shame, or low self-worth.
People who work with him can expect clear, simple strategies and skills they can use outside sessions. He emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Scott practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches you can use online
Scott blends cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in straightforward ways. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and help choose or combine methods that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match daily life. Video works well when visual cues matter, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while keeping continuity of care.
