About Stephanie

Stephanie takes a straightforward, compassionate approach. She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the room. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She prioritizes clear goals and real skills over jargon. Her work draws from several well-established methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients focus on values and action when things feel stuck. Attachment-Based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are woven in when relationships and emotion regulation are central concerns. People often come to her for parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD-related challenges, or burnout and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses complex issues such as trauma, abandonment, codependency, and chronic health stress. Sessions aim to build coping skills and clearer decision making. Stephanie practices in Oklahoma as an LPC and offers online formats that fit different schedules.
She works with clients to set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust the plan as needs change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Stephanie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people move toward meaningful action and change unhelpful thinking. ACT encourages focusing on personal values and taking steps that matter even when emotions are difficult, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean combining techniques from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or fitting therapy into a busy day.
