About Steven
Steven Ramage offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. Steven practices in Texas and brings a steady, straightforward approach to sessions.
He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from East Texas Baptist University and uses that training to blend faith perspectives with more standard therapeutic methods when clients want that.
Background and approach
Steven has three years of professional experience and has worked in case management, outpatient, inpatient, and clinical settings. That variety shaped his ability to adapt to different needs. Sessions typically focus on clear goals.
He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. He also draws on mindfulness and narrative methods to help people manage strong feelings and reframe difficult life stories. Steven has experience addressing trauma, addiction concerns, bipolar and mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to self-esteem and identity.
He has worked with adults across many cultural backgrounds and has supported people dealing with career stress, midlife shifts, and parenting pressures. In conversation he favors plain language and concrete steps. Expect practical tools, short-term skill work when helpful, and deeper discussion when clients want to examine patterns from the past.
He aims to help people leave sessions with at least one useful thing to try.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Steven commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease stress and improve emotional regulation.He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and rework the stories they carry about themselves. That approach can be useful for trauma, grief, identity questions, and times when a person feels stuck in a single, negative storyline. These methods are explained in clear language and chosen based on a client's goals rather than imposed up front.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts techniques over time. Clients can try a mix of skill-building, focused problem-solving, and deeper exploration until they find what works for them.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues during deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing helps someone think things through. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily routines.
