Dennis Steelman, LPC

Dennis Steelman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. He greets people warmly and emphasizes taking a first step toward change. He frames counseling as a partnership and guides clients as they decide what to work on next.

Dennis draws from several ways of working, including cognitive behavioral methods and EMDR, and adjusts his approach to each person's needs. He invites people to look at how past experiences affect today and to make practical changes for the future. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals rather than jargon.

People often come for help with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and anger. He also pays attention to related concerns such as guilt, shame, and sexual assault and abuse. Conversations are paced so clients can process what comes up and apply new skills between sessions.

Dennis believes change takes time and steady effort. He supports people through short-term problem solving and longer work on deeper patterns. The emphasis is on making therapy useful in everyday life and helping clients move toward the life they want.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability. The therapist will then work with each person to set goals and choose an approach that fits their situation.

How CBT and EMDR Can Be Used in Online Work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and practicing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. It is commonly used for problems like anxiety, depression, and anger issues.

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, uses structured sets of attention and memory work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional charge. It is often chosen by people dealing with trauma and abuse who want relief from distressing memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past history, and what feels comfortable. Then he will suggest and try methods that match those needs, adjusting as progress is made.

Many people find online therapy helps fit care into their day. It can reduce travel time, make it easier to keep appointments around work or family responsibilities, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current online and in-person options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
