Cameron Stewart, PLPC
Anxiety, Depression & Life Transitions Therapist in Kansas City, MO
You're navigating something hard —
and you don't have to do it alone.
Maybe anxiety has been quietly running the show — showing up as overthinking, avoidance, or a tension you can't quite shake. Maybe depression has made the things that used to feel meaningful feel distant or flat. Or maybe life has simply shifted in a big way and you're trying to find your footing again.
You might be going through a career change, a relationship transition, a loss, or a season that looked nothing like you planned. You might be struggling with self-doubt that whispers you're not enough — no matter how much you accomplish or how hard you try.
Whatever brought you here, something inside you knows it's time to stop just managing and start actually moving forward. You have more inner strength than you realize. Sometimes you just need the right support to find it.
That's exactly what Cameron is here for.

In sessions, you'll challenge the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, celebrate your unique qualities, and build the kind of unshakable confidence that carries into your relationships, your work, and your everyday life.
What Therapy with Cameron Looks Like
Cameron's approach is grounded in compassion and empowerment. He believes that within every person is the capacity for meaningful change — and that therapy works best when it helps you uncover your own inner strength rather than simply telling you what to do.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — two of the most well-researched approaches in mental health — and tailors his methods to fit your specific goals, your history, and the way your mind works. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and real.
Whether you're working through anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that's made life feel gray, grief that's left you unsteady, or self-doubt that keeps surfacing no matter what you achieve — Cameron brings both clinical skill and genuine warmth to every session.
"Together we can work to reveal underlying issues, build the skills you need, and bring peace back to your life."

Sports Psychology & Athlete Identity
Cameron has a particular interest in working with student-athletes, competitors, and high performers navigating the psychological side of sport — and the identity questions that arise when performance becomes central to who you are.
If you've ever felt like your worth is tied to your stats, your playing time, or your next result — or if you're facing an injury, a season-ending setback, or the transition out of competitive sport — Cameron understands that world in a way many therapists don't.
He helps athletes and former athletes build a sense of self that isn't contingent on results, manage performance anxiety, and find meaning and identity beyond the game. This work is available for teens, college athletes, and adults throughout Kansas City and via telehealth across Missouri and Kansas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer online therapy in Missouri and Kansas?
Yes. Cameron offers telehealth sessions for clients throughout Missouri and Kansas. Online therapy works especially well for busy adults, college students, teens, and anyone who prefers the comfort and convenience of meeting from home.
What is CBT and how does it help with anxiety and depression?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most researched and effective approaches for anxiety and depression. It helps you identify the thought patterns and behaviors that keep you stuck — and replace them with ones that actually serve you. Cameron uses CBT as a core part of his work, adapted to fit your specific situation and goals.
What is DBT and who is it for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was originally developed for intense emotional experiences and is now widely used for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. It focuses on four key skill sets: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Cameron incorporates DBT tools when they're the right fit for a client's needs.
Do you work with teenagers?
Yes — Cameron works with adults age 18 and older. He creates a non-judgmental, comfortable space where younger clients can speak honestly without feeling lectured or misunderstood. Parents are welcome to reach out with questions about what teen therapy looks like at gokc.
What is a PLPC?
A Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) is a fully trained counselor completing supervised hours on the path to full licensure. Cameron holds all required credentials and provides the same quality, evidence-based care as any licensed therapist on the gokc team — with the added benefit of ongoing clinical oversight.
Can therapy really help with self-esteem?
Yes — and it's one of the most transformative areas of work Cameron does. Self-esteem issues are often rooted in deeply held beliefs about ourselves that formed early and quietly shape everything. Through a combination of CBT, skills-building, and a genuinely supportive therapeutic relationship, clients regularly experience meaningful shifts in how they see and talk to themselves.
