About Stephanie
Stephanie E Rettig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She focuses on life transitions, career frustration, relationship and family concerns, and struggles with grief or addiction. Stephanie speaks plain language and aims to build a trusting relationship so people feel understood and accepted.
She has ten years of experience and meets with clients Monday through Thursday between 10:30 AM and 5 PM Central time.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on working alongside each person to find realistic changes that improve day-to-day life. Stephanie blends techniques from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based methods to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses emotion-focused and skills-based strategies when intense feelings or interpersonal patterns get in the way.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Stephanie helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings and then reviews what helps and what needs adjusting. She pays attention to family background and attachment patterns when those shape current problems, and she supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, or caregiver stress.
Stephanie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and scheduling is handled after completing a short matching questionnaire. She does not accept international clients and provides services in English only.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Stephanie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and making life changes that matter to you.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce symptoms like worry or depression. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete tools to manage daily stress and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is included when relationship patterns and strong emotions are central; it focuses on how feelings shape interactions and helps people shift those patterns.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods to try. Together they review what works and adjust the plan as needed to match progress and life demands.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone meetings can fit a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, coaching on skill use, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
