About Stephony

Stephony Mark is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Louisiana who blends practical strategies with thoughtful reflection to help people move through difficult moments.

Background and approach

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while also incorporating client-centered and existential perspectives that honor individual values and meaning. Stephony has five years of clinical experience addressing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Her practice addresses both emotional challenges and life transitions, such as coping with change, parenting pressures, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, and struggles with self-esteem, guilt, or forgiveness. Stephony also offers support for people navigating bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity.

She uses solution-focused and mindfulness tools alongside CBT to build practical skills and foster present-moment awareness, tailoring her approach to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Stephony commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods to structure online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapeutic relationship to help people explore feelings and personal values, which can support work on self-esteem, grief, and relational issues.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work together with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adapt methods based on what resonates and what produces progress in day-to-day life. The emphasis is on practical skill-building plus exploration of meaning when appropriate.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and communication preferences. These options can make it easier to fit consistent sessions into busy lives and to practice strategies between appointments through ongoing messaging and brief check-ins.
