Dennis Steelman, LPC

Dennis Steelman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Texas who combines trauma-informed care with practical strategies to support recovery and growth. He brings eight years of clinical experience and a broad set of certifications that inform his work - he is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), holds a certification in Mental Health Teletherapy (CTMH), and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). These credentials reflect training in substance use treatment, delivering therapy via telehealth, and specialized approaches to treating trauma.

Dennis approaches counseling as a collaborative journey in which the therapeutic relationship itself is a central tool for change. He draws from a range of frameworks, including humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral methods, and adapts those techniques to meet each person’s unique needs. He emphasizes careful exploration of personal history, attention to present concerns, and practical steps to shape a healthier future.

He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, challenges with self-esteem, depression, addictions, and anger, with additional focus on issues of guilt, shame, and sexual assault and abuse. Dennis frames recovery as a process that takes time and commitment, and he positions himself as a steady guide who helps clients clarify goals, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.
