Steven Ramage, LPC

Steven Ramage is an LPC who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and life changes. He works with adults across a range of concerns including depression, grief, self-esteem, and issues related to aging and geriatric concerns. Steven uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel practical and grounded.

He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from East Texas Baptist University and has three years of clinical experience. His background includes case work in Dallas and roles in outpatient and inpatient settings, where he met people from many cultures and ethnicities. He has worked with diagnoses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and with addiction and crisis situations.

Steven describes his primary orientation as cognitive behavioral, and he integrates other methods when helpful. That means sessions often focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and trying small experiments that can make day-to-day life easier. He also uses storytelling and mindfulness techniques to help people find meaning and calm.

In practice he pays attention to spiritual beliefs when clients want to include them. He is trained in crisis and suicide intervention and holds a Texas LPC credential. He offers a practical, caring approach that aims to help people get unstuck and find clearer next steps.

To start, he asks people to describe what they want to change and then builds simple, doable goals. Sessions tend to focus on skills, problem solving, and steady emotional recovery rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Steven commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behavior; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm racing thoughts; it is useful for stress, grief, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose strategies that match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily rhythm. That might mean emphasizing thought-focused exercises, short behavioral experiments, or mindfulness practices depending on what the person wants to achieve.

Confirm available session options before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow work on skills between sessions so changes can be practiced in everyday life. Licensed professionals can adapt the same therapeutic methods used in person to an online setting while focusing on practical, step-by-step progress.
