About Stephanie

Stephanie Cooley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 17 years of experience in mental health care.

Background and approach

She draws on a background addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, eating issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Stephanie emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach when meeting clients where they are.

Her work is grounded in evidence-informed strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-focused techniques. She adapts conversations and interventions to fit each person’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Stephanie frames seeking help as a courageous step and aims to support and empower clients as they move toward more fulfilling, manageable lives. Sessions are shaped collaboratively to reflect individual goals and needs, with attention to practical skills and emotional processing.

Stephanie communicates clearly about the process and tailors pacing and tools so clients can build resilience and coping skills over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Sessions

Stephanie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her toolkit and emphasizes present-moment awareness and acceptance to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy offers brief, goal-oriented techniques that concentrate on strengths and practical steps to move toward desired changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs during early sessions and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits each client’s situation and values.

Online therapy with Stephanie is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between appointments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
