About Stephanie
Stephanie Harris is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with ten years of counseling experience. She approaches therapy believing people know themselves best and that the therapist's role is to help uncover strengths and clarify goals. Her manner is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping clients feel understood and able to take the next step.
Stephanie focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, and family-related difficulties.
How Stephanie works
She uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening, empathy, and following each person’s pace. Sessions combine talk therapy with practical steps to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University.
Over the past decade she has worked in independent practice, crisis centers, in-patient hospitals, employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, and primary care clinics. Those settings shaped her ability to work with people facing many kinds of stress and life disruption. In sessions she helps people recognize strengths, build confidence, and make choices that match their values.

Online support options
Client-centered care for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the person as the expert on their life. The therapist offers empathy, reflective listening, and gentle guidance so clients can discover their own answers and build confidence. This approach works well for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods and pacing fit their goals and comfort level. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful and focused on concrete progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and build momentum toward change.
