About Steven

Steven Ramage is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to help parents and caregivers managing stress, anxiety, grief, and changes at home. He keeps language simple and practical so busy families can follow steps between sessions. Steven meets people where they are and focuses on clear tools you can use right away.

He earned a master’s degree in counseling from East Texas Baptist University, where he learned to include spirituality when it fits a client’s values.

Background and approach

He has worked as a case worker in Dallas and in clinical, outpatient, and inpatient settings. That range gave him experience with many backgrounds and ages. Steven uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and he integrates other methods when useful.

He is trained in crisis and suicide intervention and has a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT. He draws on mindfulness, narrative, psychodynamic, and solution-focused ideas as needed to build a plan with each person. Sessions focus on practical skills for mood, coping, and relationship concerns.

He helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, achievable changes. Steven also addresses addiction-related issues and parenting challenges when they come up. Clients can expect straightforward goals, short-term strategies, and attention to what matters most at home.

He keeps a compassionate, down-to-earth tone and works to make progress feel realistic and manageable.

Approaches to change you can use online

Steven draws most heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical actions to change mood and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

He also uses Narrative Therapy when it helps clients reframe difficult life stories into more manageable chapters. Narrative work can be useful for dealing with loss, identity questions, and major life changes by separating the person from the problem.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try approaches that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy households. These options allow regular contact, short check-ins between sessions, and flexible ways to practice skills. Many people find online formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around family life and work obligations.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
