About Dennis
Dennis Steelman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related concerns.
Background and approach
He combines practical, evidence-informed strategies with empathic listening to help clients better understand past experiences and make intentional changes toward healthier functioning. His work also addresses addictions, anger, self-esteem difficulties, guilt and shame, and sexual assault and abuse.
He favors a collaborative, tailored approach that adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single formula. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR are among the tools he uses when appropriate, offering structured techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and targeted interventions for trauma processing.
Prospective clients can expect a steady, time-aware process that acknowledges the importance of exploring history while focusing on present goals and future growth.
How CBT and EMDR Translate to Online Care
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies; in online sessions this often means using structured exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that clients can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change problematic habits. EMDR involves guided attention to distressing memories while processing emotional responses; virtually delivered EMDR adapts those protocols to an online setting to address trauma and abuse-related symptoms with targeted processing techniques.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess their concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest whether CBT, EMDR, or a combination is likely to be most helpful while adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to maintain continuity when attending in-person visits is difficult. These formats support consistent work on skills, ongoing check-ins, and timely support between appointments, helping clients move toward their goals from wherever they are located in Texas.
