About Stephanie

Stephanie E Rettig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and related challenges.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she works with individuals across the lifespan to build a strong therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth and greater life satisfaction. Stephanie emphasizes developing rapport and self-acceptance as a foundation for meaningful change.

Her approach blends practical strategies and compassionate support, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles.

She aims to equip clients with skills to manage mood, cope with grief or family problems, address relationship and intimacy issues, and confront patterns such as codependency, control issues, or attachment-related concerns. Stephanie maintains a focused caseload and meets with clients Monday through Thursday between 10:30 AM and 5 PM CST to provide attentive care.

Clients seeking work on ADHD, addictions, eating concerns, career dissatisfaction, or caregiver stress will find a clinician who pairs evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on belonging, identity, and purpose within family and community contexts.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT typically focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to produce different emotional outcomes and is well suited to symptom-focused work.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes values-driven action and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. ACT can be helpful for people navigating life changes, low self-esteem, or chronic stress. In addition, her client-centered stance ensures sessions remain collaborative, with the therapist prioritizing empathic listening and working from the client’s goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative assessment helps guide whether CBT, ACT, DBT skills, or emotionally-focused work will be most useful for a given concern.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from different settings while maintaining regular contact, skill practice, and progress checks with a licensed professional.
