About Stephanie
Stephanie Cooley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience in mental health. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Stephanie aims to treat each person with respect and sensitivity as she helps them take steps toward change.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused methods to shape therapy. Sessions focus on practical strategies people can use between meetings.
How Stephanie works
Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a rigid script. Stephanie places an emphasis on managing emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. She helps people work through relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, anger, and ADHD-related challenges.
For clients who identify as LGBT, she offers an affirming approach to the issues they bring. Her style blends listening with clear tools. That can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing grounding and mindfulness, or setting small, achievable goals to build momentum.
Stephanie supports people as they try new behaviors and notice what helps. People who prefer a collaborative, solution-oriented approach tend to find this style useful. She adapts pacing and techniques to match a person’s comfort level and life demands.
Stephanie works from Mississippi and conducts sessions online or by phone according to format options available.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help with emotion regulation and staying grounded during difficult moments.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and build on what is already working. That approach is useful when someone wants practical steps to handle relationship strain, parenting stress, or life transitions. The therapist will talk with each person about what matters most and pick or combine approaches that fit their needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer quick check-ins, shorter exchanges, and the ability to work through thoughts in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
