About Stephanie

Stephanie Horner is an LPCC with 25 years of counseling experience who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a long career in health and education that included nursing, school health leadership, and work with children and adolescents before moving to primarily adult therapy. Her background gives her a broad perspective on how life stressors and health issues interact with emotional wellbeing.

Stephanie favors practical, client-centered work that blends solution-focused strategies with acceptance-based and cognitive approaches. She aims to identify the specific problems clients bring, clarify their goals and needs, and teach skills and techniques that apply both to immediate concerns and to longer-term resilience.

Colleagues and clients may find her approach warm and approachable while remaining thoughtful and goal-directed. Based in New Mexico, she practices in English and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Stephanie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients examine and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and committed actions to support meaningful change. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of her work, emphasizing empathy, collaboration, and a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship to help people explore their goals and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can try techniques from different approaches, monitor what helps, and refine the plan so the work feels useful and aligned with each person's life.

Online therapy gives flexibility by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that suits their schedule and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, balance work and family demands, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward practical skills and solutions.
