About Stephanie

Stephanie Smith-Daniel is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside complementary approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She brings seven years of experience in the mental health field and focuses on practical, goal-oriented strategies that support clients as they work toward greater emotional balance and self-confidence. Her practice integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy with mindfulness and client-centered techniques to address compassion fatigue, feelings of emptiness, and social anxiety.

Stephanie emphasizes collaborative work that helps clients identify patterns, develop new coping skills, and build self-compassion. She aims to equip people with tools they can apply in daily life so they can move forward and pursue their personal goals.

Stephanie welcomes clients who want to improve communication, manage control or isolation issues, or practice forgiveness and self-love. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and draw from multiple evidence-informed methods to create a respectful and supportive therapeutic process.

Approaches that guide online care and practical work

Stephanie combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness elements to shape online sessions that are focused and collaborative. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering clear strategies for managing anxiety and improving self-esteem. ACT emphasizes values and committed action to help people move toward meaningful goals even when difficult emotions are present.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with clients to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning allows adjustments over time so clients can try different techniques and keep what helps most.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical, while still focusing on skill-building, behavioral experiments, and reflective work tailored to each client.
