Steven Mondragon, LCSW

Steven Mondragon is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of practice in Utah. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. He also has experience supporting first responders such as police, fire, and medical personnel. Steven approaches therapy believing clients are the experts on their own lives and that personal strengths matter in recovery.

His style is direct and respectful. He aims to help people notice what’s getting in the way and build small, practical steps forward. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and realistic strategies that fit day-to-day life. Clients can expect conversation that balances listening with focused skill-building.

Steven draws on several grounded methods to guide his work. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems in place. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides tools to address the effects of trauma when it’s relevant.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also inform his approach. Those methods support motivation for change and quick, practical problem solving when needed. The combination allows him to adapt to different concerns while keeping the person’s goals central.

People come to him for a range of issues, including anger, isolation, chronic pain and questions about life purpose. He emphasizes collaboration and steady progress over time.
