Stephanie E Rettig, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Stephanie

Stephanie E Rettig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on family and parenting concerns among a range of other issues. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life changes. She also helps with relationship and family problems, ADHD, addictions, and career-related struggles.

Her style aims to create a trusting relationship so clients feel comfortable talking about what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She brings ten years of counseling experience to sessions. Stephanie emphasizes building rapport first, believing trust and a sense of belonging matter for growth. She encourages self-acceptance as a foundation for change and works alongside clients instead of directing them from afar.

In sessions she blends practical skills with reflective conversation. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance skills support managing strong emotions and staying oriented to personal values.

She also draws on emotion-focused work to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships. Dialectical skills are used when clients need tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Each plan is shaped to fit the person and their family context.

Appointments are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are held via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Stephanie meets with people to identify goals, try new strategies, and track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Stephanie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns that keep problems in place, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) elements when relationship patterns are central. EFT supports understanding core emotions and changing how people connect with important others. Together, these approaches give different tools depending on whether a person needs behavioral change, values-based direction, or improved emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what proves helpful and what the person wants to prioritize.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, manage parenting responsibilities, and connect from across Texas. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, practice new ways of relating, and check in between appointments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
