About Stephanie
Stephanie Smith-Daniel is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. She uses clear, practical talk so parents can quickly see how therapy fits into daily life. Stephanie keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented to help people make steady progress.
With seven years in the mental health field, Stephanie draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set achievable goals and track progress between meetings.
Stephanie adapts these methods to the pace and preferences of each person she meets. She addresses concerns such as compassion fatigue, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Social anxiety, phobia, forgiveness, and building self-love are also part of her focus.
Sessions aim to give practical tools that people can use right away. Stephanie works with adults from her practice in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. Her style is direct but warm, helping people move from stuck to active steps toward goals.
To get started she asks people to share current struggles and what a better week would look like.
Approach-based care for online therapy
Stephanie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to structure online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which often suits anxiety and self-esteem work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-driven actions when difficult feelings are present.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them as progress is tracked over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or for people who prefer typing to talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while keeping focus on real steps and changes.
