Work with Dennis Steelman (LPC, LCDC, CCTP) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

About Me

Greetings. I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards recovery. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I am also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), with certifications in Mental Health Teletherapy (CTMH), and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).
Every journey needs a guide. On your journey to recovery, I walk with you to help guide you to a better understanding of where you have been and where you want to go. I believe in the therapeutic relationship and the power of that relationship can help affect change. While I approach counseling from a wide array of approaches, such as humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral, my approach is tailored to what you need and what will serve you the best.
I believe that effective change and effective therapy takes time. It takes a willingness to explore the past, consider the present, and change the future for the better. You have taken the first step on that path to a better future and I commend you on that bold action. I am ready to work with you and walk the path with you. I wish you a happy and healthy recovery.

Written by M.A. on Jan 04, 2022 after therapy with Dennis for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning depression, and bipolar disorder

Dennis is a totally non-judgmental person. I feel I can share anything with him. He remembers my primary concerns over months of therapy and doesn't have to be reminded of most of the details I've shared with him (a problem I've had with other therapists that really kind of ruins the experience). He provides me with firm action plans in terms of tracking my mental distortions and helps me to watch my mind to make sure it isn't pulling any tricks.

My weekly counseling sessions with Dennis have helped me immensely during a very difficult time in my life. I have learnt something new during every session about how to tackle the challenges that I am facing. He is extremely patient and gently guides you to the root of the problem by reasoning with you and challenging you with the right questions. I greatly appreciate these sessions.

With Dennis’ kind, patient, and insightful advice I feel more able to address my faults and poor behavior.
