She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lubbock Christian University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from West Virginia University.

In sessions she guides people to identify goals and small steps they can take between meetings. She emphasizes developing practical skills for managing mood, processing loss, and reducing harmful behaviors. Conversations are aimed at making change feel doable instead of overwhelming.
Stephanie also addresses related concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, co-morbidity, communication problems, domestic violence, first responder issues, and post-traumatic stress. She includes support for coping with natural or human-caused disaster when relevant to a person’s situation.
Her approach centers on helping people become their own advocates. That includes building self-awareness, practicing new responses, and taking responsibility for progress. She encourages honest talk and steady steps toward the goals each person sets.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and skill-building. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills for mood and anger management, teaching clear tools to handle distressing thoughts and strong emotions. Another approach helps people process trauma and grief through structured conversations that make painful experiences easier to name and manage. These methods aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning by teaching specific strategies the client can use outside sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adapt the work as progress is made or needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats directly before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend without traveling to an office. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach skills, review homework, and coach through difficult moments in real time.
