About Stephanie
Stephanie Howard, LPCC, connects with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship strain. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and take small, practical steps toward change. Her style aims to make therapy feel manageable and hopeful for busy parents and adults.
Stephanie uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals first. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and increase calm in daily life. Sessions focus on real skills clients can try between meetings, such as breathing practices, thought tracking, and small behavior changes.
Across seven years of practice she has supported people working through depression, addictions, trauma, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She has also helped clients with relationship concerns, body image, social anxiety, and coping after separation or loss. Her work often includes strengthening attachment and building self-compassion.
Stephanie earned a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling from Liberty University and holds the Kentucky LPCC credential. She continues professional development to expand her counseling options and practical techniques.
Clients can expect a warm, strength-focused approach that balances listening with concrete suggestions. The goal is to help people move toward more joy and clearer steps in their everyday lives. Stephanie offers sessions from her Kentucky practice and works in English.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, which can work well in an online setting because conversations remain centered on what the person wants to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical ways to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns through guided exercises and homework.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made, and decisions are made together during sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so new habits can be tried between meetings and reviewed at the next appointment.
