About Steve

Steve Gengenbacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four decades of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Steve aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

He keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. Conversations are patient and nonjudgmental. He listens for what matters most and helps people name the problems they want to change.

Background and approach

Steve uses a few different approaches to match a person's needs. Existential therapy helps people find meaning and direction during tough transitions. Client-centered work emphasizes understanding the person’s perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Common concerns he addresses include relationships and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, family of origin issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and challenges many face in midlife or young adulthood.

Appointments are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches and online options for meaningful change

Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It can help when life changes leave someone feeling lost, stuck, or unsure about next steps. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment, which helps people feel heard and accepted while they sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steve collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He mixes conversational listening with practical strategies so the plan reflects what the person wants to achieve and how they prefer to engage.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be clearer when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity over time.
