More about Stephanie

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • 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!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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 provides me enormous support and she is a very understanding therapist. Thank you so much!

Reviewed January 2023

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.

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.
