About Stephanie
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory designation (LPCC-S) in Ohio, with a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling and a Master of Education in School Psychology. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, life transitions, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and recurring patterns that interfere with daily life, decision-making, or relationships. My counseling style is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. Therapy is individualized and focused on understanding what is happening, identifying patterns that may be contributing to current concerns, and developing realistic strategies that support meaningful change. My approach incorporates Faith-Integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), psychoeducation, structured reflection, emotional regulation strategies, values clarification, and practical behavioral steps that can be applied outside of sessions. I place particular emphasis on helping clients move from insight to action so that the work we do in therapy translates into observable changes in daily functioning, relationships, emotional well-being, and decision-making. For clients who would like faith to be part of the counseling process, Catholic or Christian faith integration can be incorporated at their request. Faith is never assumed or imposed, and the level of integration is guided entirely by each client’s preferences, values, and goals. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship should provide both support and space for honest examination, accountability, and growth. My role is not simply to listen, but to help clarify concerns, recognize patterns, strengthen useful skills, challenge unhelpful thinking when appropriate, and develop clear, practical next steps. Beginning counseling can feel like a significant decision. My goal is to provide a respectful, compassionate, and structured environment where difficult concerns can be addressed at a manageable pace while building greater clarity, confidence, emotional stability, and the practical skills needed to move forward.
