Ive already recommended the app & Dennis Steelman to a few people. I didn’t care for counseling before finding the right counselor. He keeps it real & focused, does not choose sides, and always gives you something to walk away with.

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.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I'm grateful to have found Mr. Steelman, after going thorough a couple of less useful experiences on the platform. He is highly professional and has a bit more of the old school . For me personally, this creates as other conselors tried to hard to express how they emotionally empathise with me which is not. I want an objective, detached persective of
Dennis is a great listener and counselor. I’ve only had a few sessions so far but each one has been refreshing to talk things out. I’m looking forward to future sessions with him.
He is awesome
Dennis is calm, gentle, and understanding. He is professional and has a good background of information and knowledge to share.
Dennis is a great man, and I appreciate him helping me process that stuff that I cannot process with anyone else.
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.
Cautiously opening up more. He has given space for that.
Personable and real
Mr. Dennis is awesome!! He’s prompt and patient as well as helpful! I love that he explains therapy techniques and is always checking up on the patient!
Dennis is insightful, patient and very attentive to my concerns. He offers practical and applicable guidance for me to improve my relationships and my outlook on life. I would recommend him if you need to shift your mindset to be more positive and break unhealthy thought patterns.
We had a rough start in getting answers about basics. I do not care for waiting for an email response.
He is a great listener patient and understanding therapist he has helped to start letting go of the past and learn to live my present without fear or worry
Absolutely wonderful
Dennis (Doctor Steelman?) is the best counselor I've found on this website. He makes me formulate my ideas in a way that often makes me question my underlying behaviors and beliefs, and I feel that my life is on an upward trajectory since I started speaking with him.
Dennis is truly great and I would want to have him as a friend if he were not my counselor. Practical, compassionate, humorous.
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.
I am so blessed to have found Better Help and Dennis Steelman. There is no doubt that the man knows his stuff. He is professional, understanding, creative, and welcoming. My sessions always seem to fly by too quickly, and I'm overjoyed by the changes I've seen in myself already. 12/10 would reccommend.
Dennis is a great listener with a kind and supportive approach. He knows when to give advice and when to let me figure things out on my own. I enjoy our conversations and his wise counseling.
A great counselor with a compassionate approach. I highly recommend Dennis for your therapy needs.

I’m really, really happy to have been connected with Dennis. I’ve been able to find and address several issues that I hadn’t been able to identify myself. With Dennis’ kind, patient, and insightful advice I feel more able to address my faults and poor behavior. For the first time in a long, long time I feel hope for my future and the future of my personal relationships.
Dennis is extremely helpful. He's kind and understanding. He's so good at listening and supporting. He doesn't make you feel like your feelings or emotions are invalid at all.
