How Stephanie works
Solution-focused work is used to set clear, achievable next steps when someone needs faster progress. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling from Liberty University and earlier study in child and family topics. She is licensed in Kentucky as an LPCC.
Over her career she has worked with many concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and addiction challenges.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person's own goals and perspective at the center of each session. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them choose the topics to work on. This approach helps with stress, relationship strain, and building self-esteem by using the client's strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In online sessions this often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative decision-making helps tailor the work to each person's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice, while phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family life, work breaks, or other routines.
