About Steve
Steve Gengenbacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 44 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and depression. He also supports those facing life changes, intimacy questions, anger, and career strain.
Steve uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way day to day. He listens for unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then works with people to try different ways of responding. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than abstract theory.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thought patterns and shift habits that deepen anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy is part of his approach, which means he gives time for people to speak and for the work to follow from their concerns. He also brings ideas from Existential Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy when they fit the issue at hand.
Steve guides conversations about family of origin, divorce and separation, and aging concerns in plain language. He also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, jealousy, and questions of life purpose. Men's issues, midlife and transitions for young adults are included in his focus.
Sessions are conducted in English and he practices in Texas. If a reader wants to proceed, they are asked to follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The site subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Steve commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems going and to try small changes in thinking and behavior. CBT is practical and goal oriented, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the concerns the person brings. This approach gives space for people to describe what matters most and to set the pace of the work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. He will help the person clarify goals and choose methods that fit those goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is reviewed.
