About Stephanie
Stephanie Crume is an Oklahoma-licensed professional counselor with 13 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, grief, and a range of mood and coping concerns.
Background and approach
She works with clients on issues that include trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBTQ matters.
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and other complex presentations. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's lived experience, viewing clients as the experts on their own stories while bringing therapeutic skills to support change.
She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and existential perspectives to tailor treatment to specific goals. Stephanie aims to help clients build practical coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and clarify values to move toward a more satisfying life.
Clients who begin work with her can expect goal-oriented care that balances skill building with exploration of meaning and relational patterns. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering clear strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with life stressors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on relationship patterns, helping people understand how early bonds influence current intimacy and communication.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods over time so that the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model on every situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or different comfort levels with therapy. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals while using formats that suit their daily life and communication style, making it easier to maintain consistency and progress toward goals.
