Stephen Burke

Stephen Burke is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of practice. He helps people who are facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career shifts, or the effects of trauma. He also has experience assisting those touched by adoption concerns. Stephen focuses on improving daily functioning and life satisfaction through practical work in sessions.

Stephen’s style is interactive and non-judgmental. He uses a client-centered approach, which means clients set goals and steer the work. Sessions are solution-focused, so they look for small, concrete steps you can take between meetings.

When trauma is part of the story, he brings a trauma-informed perspective. That means attention to how past harm shows up now, with care for pacing and safety. He combines that with coaching techniques when people want clear, goal-driven support.

He has spent two decades supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. He also works with those dealing with blended family dynamics, attachment questions, fatherhood challenges, and the fallout of divorce or separation.

Sessions focus on what you want to change and practical ways to get there. Stephen helps people identify strengths, try new coping strategies, and track progress. He encourages collaborative planning so work in therapy fits real life and goals.

Stephen practices in New Hampshire and holds LICSW credentials in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He offers care in English and aims to tailor support to each person’s needs.
