Stephanie was very supportive during a major transition in my relationship. She helped me to work through a number of issues and gave me tools to help move forward. After a couple of negative experiences with other counsellors, Stephanie really helped me to see the value in therapy.

More about Stephanie
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Alabama with over sixteen years of experience working as a counselor for a wide range of concerns. I have worked with individuals and families dealing with anxiety, child related specific issues, relationship issues, couple issues, parenting problems, trauma and many other issues. I always approach every individual and situation from a trauma informed lens when counseling.
My counseling style is warm and engaging. I believe it is important to treat everyone with respect. One of the main ways I show respect is by really listening to hear your story. I also use a strength-based approach utilizing the individual’s strengths to overcome the challenges they may face. The main counseling approach I use is a cognitive-behavioral therapy counseling approach. I incorporate many other styles based on the client's needs.
Thank you for taking the step toward health and healing through counseling. It isn’t easy to begin this journey, but you have taken the brave first step that will bring positive change in your life. I look forward to working to support you on this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great counselor!
I have not had very good luck with therapist in the past and almost gave up a few times and then Stephanie came into my life!! She has helped me grow so much and I am so thankful for how much she has helped me this far!! I would recommend her to anybody she definitely knows her stuff!!
She is wonderful. She is understanding, caring, and gives me recommendations on how to solve the problems I am currently facing.
Stephanie is very knowledgeable and helpful. Already just one session helped so much.
I have only had one session so far, but I feel as though Stephanie Garrett is pushing me in the right direction. I came to better help for someone to help guide me on my journey of self growth and I think that together we can solve a lot of my issues.
