More about Stephanie
- 17 years' experience

- LPC
Hello from Texas! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Texas with over 15 years of experience working as a Therapist, Clinical Director and Executive Director. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, Chronic mental illness to include bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, sexual abuse, survivors of human trafficking or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and engaging. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and solution focus with a TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) component.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Stephanie is amazing!
I have been a client of Stephanie’s for over 2 years now and I am so glad that I took the leap to join BH and have her as my therapist. She has helped me to gain confidence and to build on my knowledge of mental health.
Since starting with Stephanie, I feel heard, seen and validated. She is always friendly and gives me new suggestions for books or tools I can use to aid my ongoing mental health journey.
Stephanie provides me enormous support and she is a very understanding therapist. Thank you so much!
Stephanie is great. I’ve recommended friends try to sign up for her to be their therapist when they needed help. She is extremely caring and invested in me and my success. She listens to my goals and lets me set the pace for what I want to work on, while also suggesting what could be important to work on and keeping track of the random things I’ve brought up and been like “but we’ll talk about that another time”. She holds me accountable and is the voice of reason when I need it. All around solid human-being and great therapist.
Since starting with Stephanie, I feel much more aware of my own emotions and slowly feel like I am building up tools to help me deal with some of my troubles. I am so grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend Stephanie and BetterHelp to anyone who was in need of some assistance with dealing with their problems and needs a supportive ear. It's hard to open up and to be vulnerable but it has been worth it. Thank you.
She is a good listener. She is non-judgemental. Very supportive and compassionate
Since starting to talk with Stephanie, I am starting to feel better about myself and slowly trying to use helpful tools in my life. She has always been so kind, supportive and friendly and I would recommend her to anyone.
She is intuitive and thoughtful. Would recommend.
Stephanie is a champion for me! I would be lost without her!
Stephanie helps me put what I am feeling into words. She listens to what is going on in my life and helps me make sense of it and she doesn't get upset when my ADHD causes me to cycle through several topics at once. I am so happy to have found her.
Stephanie helps me out when I’m feeling into words. She listens to what is going on in my life and helps me make sense of it and she doesn’t get upset when my ADHD causes me to cycle through several topics at once. I’m so happy to have found her.
stephanie is a really great listener, she’s understanding and makes sure to give you the advice you you need. you don’t feel judged not one bit and can have open conversations. she also makes you feel great about your accomplishments no matter how big or small. i would highly recommend her to a friend.
You should share it with her. I'm a difficult patient, or it feels that way. She is prompt even though I message her mostly in the late hours. She never gets frustrated with my snark or stubbornness. She's just a nice person. I've canceled every video session I ever scheduled and she doesn't shame me at all about it. I'm new to therapy and its sort of like texting a friend. A friend I pay to listen to me complain about my life that isn't that difficult comparatively. I mean she helps people with real problems. But she also helps me with my menial ones. I'm a fan.
Stephanie is amazing. I always feel better, validated, satisfied and packed with knowledge when the session is over. I would recommend her a 100 times over. Thanks Stephanie.
Stephanie has been helpful in many ways. She responds to my messages timely. She is encouraging and engaging. She has been instrumental in my path to my emotional and mental well being.
She is simply amazing! She listened to my concerns and helped me plan how to handle things with a smile. She is the best counselor a person could have! I would recommend anyone who is dealing with tough situations to schedule a meeting with her!
I think that Stephanie is great, I am glad I was paired with her. I felt like I was able to talk about anything and everything with her. She listen to everything I said and gave me the confidence to move forward.
