About Dennis
Dennis Steelman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with eight years of practice. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and anger. He also works with those coping with trauma, sexual assault, guilt, and shame.
Dennis prefers a straightforward, conversational approach. He listens first to learn what matters most to each person. Then he and the person set practical goals and try methods that fit the person's life and schedule. <br His sessions combine realistic skills and talk therapy.

He helps people track progress and adjust strategies when something is not working. The focus is on usable tools and clearer choices, not on quick fixes. Many clients come wanting relief from intense emotions, recurring negative thoughts, or patterns that feel stuck.

How CBT and EMDR Fit into Online Care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. It often uses practical exercises and homework to build new routines and reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories so those memories bother them less. In sessions the therapist guides the person through targeted recall and processing techniques to reduce emotional intensity tied to past events.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that make sense for their situation. If one technique doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or texting is useful for brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help fit sessions into busy schedules and different comfort levels.
