Stephanie E Rettig , LPC

Stephanie E Rettig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She has a strong background supporting college-aged individuals as they navigate the transition from adolescence into adulthood, and she also works with adults addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship conflict, job dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem.

She emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic rapport and works to build a collaborative relationship that promotes greater self-acceptance and meaningful change. Stephanie seeks to walk alongside clients through messy or uncertain seasons, identifying opportunities to increase life satisfaction and strengthen coping skills. Her practice focuses on empowering people to move toward healing and a greater sense of wholeness.

Stephanie believes a sense of belonging is foundational to psychological well-being and supports clients in exploring identity, purpose, and their roles within family and community. She has intentionally maintained a low caseload to provide focused attention to those she serves. Stephanie provides services in English and is located in Texas. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Bringing evidence-based approaches to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and then take values-driven steps toward a more meaningful life. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where avoidance patterns limit engagement.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and problems with mood regulation by offering practical strategies and skill building.

Client-Centered Therapy places the relationship at the center of the work, offering empathy, acceptance, and support so clients can explore identity, belonging, and relational concerns at their own pace. This approach is helpful when building trust and increasing self-understanding is a priority.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to continue therapy during times of transition or when in-person visits are impractical.
