About Dennis
Dennis Steelman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with eight years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, addictions, and anger. His work also addresses guilt and shame and sexual assault and abuse in individual sessions.
Dennis uses approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). He describes therapy as a collaborative process where he helps people understand where they have been and decide where they want to go. Sessions involve talking through past experiences and practical steps to change present behavior.
His style blends different frameworks so the work fits the person's needs. He may draw on humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral ideas to shape the session. The focus is on clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Dennis notes that meaningful change usually takes time and effort. He supports people as they review past patterns, make sense of current struggles, and try new ways of coping. He emphasizes consistent work across sessions and practical strategies between visits.
People who prefer a therapist who combines structured techniques like CBT with trauma-focused tools such as EMDR may find his approach helpful. He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Dennis applies CBT and EMDR in remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by building skills for managing thoughts and behavior.EMDR involves guided attention and processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact. It is commonly used for trauma and abuse related symptoms and can change how memories affect present-day reactions.
Choosing a therapeutic method is a collaborative process. Dennis will discuss goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, then recommend approaches to try. He will adjust methods over time based on what is helping and what is not.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and reduce travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions when a full in-person visit is harder to schedule.
