About Stephanie
Stephanie Howard is a Kentucky-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and find more balance in daily life.
Background and approach
With seven years of clinical experience, she emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered style that encourages people to notice their existing resources while taking practical steps toward change. Stephanie draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and issues related to identity and self-worth.
She has worked with a wide age range and brings experience supporting families, parents, teens, and adults through transitions like divorce, parenting struggles, and recovery from trauma. Stephanie often guides clients in developing concrete strategies for managing panic, regulating anger, and improving communication within families.
Her background in child and family studies and a master’s in clinical counseling inform a collaborative, compassionate approach that aims to help clients imagine a clearer future and take achievable steps toward it.
Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change
Stephanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic attacks, and mood symptoms. These methods often focus on testing assumptions, building new behaviors, and tracking progress to reduce distress.She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches that prioritize the client’s perspective and present experience. A client-centered stance emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, while mindfulness practices teach grounding and attention skills that can ease stress, improve self-awareness, and support emotion regulation.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or other convenient settings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that supports one’s comfort and communication style.
