How Stephanie works
Sessions aim to increase self-acceptance while identifying concrete changes that improve daily life. Rettig has about 10 years of clinical experience and holds an LPC license in Texas. She meets with clients by appointment during weekday hours and keeps a smaller caseload to concentrate on each person’s needs.
Her background includes helping people with ADHD, anger, eating concerns, and caregiver stress among other areas. Her approach pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues when they affect current relationships. She also addresses abandonment concerns, codependency, communication struggles, and feelings of emptiness.
Work can include addressing body image, neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and co-occurring conditions. In sessions she blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive and behavioral methods. She encourages clients to set small, achievable goals and to practice new skills between meetings.
The aim is steady progress toward better coping, clearer priorities, and greater life satisfaction.

How these approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful action rather than getting stuck on hard thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and problems like anger or sleep by breaking issues into manageable parts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, and then suggest methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative, so strategies are adjusted over time to match what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep a face-to-face rhythm while saving travel time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick support, written reflection, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
