Stephanie E Rettig , LPC

Stephanie E Rettig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a state credential that authorizes her to provide professional counseling. She brings focused experience supporting college-aged individuals as they navigate the shift from adolescence into adulthood, while also working with people of all ages who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, relationship conflict, job dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem.

Her approach centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship - she emphasizes trust and rapport as the foundation for meaningful growth. Stephanie aims to create a collaborative environment that encourages greater self-acceptance and practical steps toward improved well-being. She frames therapy as walking alongside a person to identify opportunities for increased life satisfaction and personal wholeness.

Stephanie is committed to helping clients explore identity, belonging, and purpose within their families and communities. She describes her work as empowering people to experience deeper healing by strengthening connections to self and others. She meets with people Monday through Thursday between 10:30 AM and 5 PM CST and maintains a low caseload in order to serve those she works with to the best of her ability.

Her focus on relationship, trust, and individualized care shapes each treatment plan, with attention to the transitions and challenges that often arise during emerging adulthood as well as lifelong patterns that affect mood, relationships, and self-worth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for clients managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions who want to build a life aligned with what matters to them.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own perspective guides the pace and goals of work. This approach supports people who need empathy, validation, and a stronger sense of self as they work through relationship or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps tailor care rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care during periods of change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same core therapeutic work while accommodating individual routines and needs.
