About Dennis
Dennis Steelman is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Texas with eight years of experience. He offers straightforward, goal-minded support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or issues tied to trauma and abuse. He also helps people wrestling with guilt, shame, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse.
Dennis focuses on building a working relationship that helps a person make sense of their past and decide what they want next.
How Dennis works
Sessions are practical and conversational. He listens, asks clarifying questions, and helps people try manageable steps between meetings. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and change small behaviors that make daily life harder.
He also uses EMDR for trauma-related concerns when that fits a person's needs. These methods are chosen to match each person’s situation rather than as a one-size-fits-all plan. Therapy with Dennis acknowledges that change takes time and steady effort.
He supports pacing that feels doable and adjusts the pace based on progress and comfort. People can expect direct feedback, normalizing of hard reactions, and concrete strategies to use outside sessions. Dennis offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
He works in English and practices in Texas. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. It breaks problems into small, concrete steps and teaches practical ways to change day-to-day patterns. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, works with distress tied to traumatic memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation; it is often used when trauma symptoms continue to cause strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which method to try based on symptoms, history, and what feels most comfortable. That collaborative planning may mean trying CBT techniques first and later adding EMDR if trauma processing is needed.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
