About Steve
Steve Gengenbacher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 44 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship matters, grief, and depression. He also addresses intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
He frames sessions around listening and helping people speak freely about what they’re facing. He aims to make room for thoughts and feelings without judgement. He invites people to take steady steps toward clearer thinking and better coping skills.
Steve uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches. He blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on existential ideas to discuss meaning, life transitions, and midlife questions.
For relationship concerns he employs Imago Relationship Therapy concepts to name patterns and improve communication. He works with individual clients to address how past family relationships affect current connections and intimacy-related struggles.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Steve helps people set short-term goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress over time. He is based in Texas and conducts work in English.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. Online sessions using this approach are largely conversational and help people clarify feelings and priorities. It suits stress, grief, and problems with self-esteem where talking and being heard are central.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing results between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger or compulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into routines. If a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed, discuss that when arranging the first meeting so sessions fit practical constraints.
