About Stephanie
Stephanie Faison uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a licensed clinical mental health counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. Stephanie writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
She focuses on problems like relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people notice patterns that get in the way and then tries small, doable changes to break those patterns.
How Stephanie works
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. These approaches teach ways to shift unhelpful thoughts, accept hard feelings, and act in line with personal values. Stephanie tailors methods to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Over two decades she has supported people through issues such as abandonment worries, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, midlife questions, and social anxiety. Her experience also includes aging and geriatric issues and personality-related challenges where building everyday coping skills matters most. Sessions use clear goals and simple homework when it helps.
Stephanie aims to make therapy practical and approachable so people can see progress between sessions. She encourages questions and works with each person at a pace that feels manageable.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches for online counseling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them and then take steps that match their values. It works well for stress, life transitions, and worries about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods, pay attention to what works, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits real life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues while working through relationship or communication issues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a flexible way to keep momentum between sessions or touch in during a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving routine, or other responsibilities.
