Stephanie E Rettig , LPC

Stephanie E Rettig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience supporting people through major life transitions and everyday struggles. She has particular expertise with college-aged individuals navigating the shift from adolescence to adulthood, and she also works with clients across the lifespan on concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship conflict, anger, job dissatisfaction, ADHD, addictions, grief, and family issues. Her work emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship that promotes greater self-acceptance and sustained growth.

Drawing on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, she helps clients identify practical strategies and new perspectives that support healthier coping and clearer decision making. She believes a sense of belonging and purpose is foundational to well-being, and she collaborates with clients to explore identity, family of origin dynamics, attachment and abandonment concerns, and communication or intimacy challenges.

Rettig maintains weekday availability Monday through Thursday between 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM CST and keeps a deliberately low caseload to focus on those she serves. She is licensed in Texas as an LPC. At this time she is not accepting new clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them discover their own answers; this approach is especially helpful for building self-acceptance, exploring identity, and improving relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance strategies with values-based action, helping clients reduce avoidance, clarify what matters most to them, and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people balancing school, work, caregiving, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from different locations in Texas, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful progress.
