About Stephen Witte

Stephen Witte is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with licensure in both Connecticut and New York and a career spanning 48 years. He has spent decades supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate change, loss, and the everyday challenges that can disrupt relationships and wellbeing. He regards change as an ordinary part of life - something people encounter continually as they learn, adapt, and gain experience.

Over the course of his work, Stephen has helped people facing depression and anxiety, those experiencing strained family or romantic relationships, and others confronting more serious mental health concerns. He acknowledges that unexpected turns, mistakes, or unmet expectations can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from loved ones.

Stephen’s role is to help clients take an active role in the change process rather than remain passive in the face of difficulty. He does not claim to solve problems for clients; instead he guides and supports them in developing the skills, insight, and strategies needed to address their own challenges. His training as an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - informs a practical, person-centered approach to therapeutic work.
