About Stephanie
Stephanie Cooley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - based in Mississippi with 17 years of experience in mental health work. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, or the fallout from relationship and family conflict. She also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem concerns, mood challenges such as bipolar disorder, eating issues, parenting strain, and the effects of life changes and ADHD.
She uses straightforward, skill-based approaches in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work are part of her toolkit. That means sessions often involve noticing patterns, trying small changes, and learning practical ways to respond to difficult feelings.
Her style is direct and practical. Conversations explore what is happening now, what has helped before, and what steps could reduce arguments, reduce stress, or curb unhelpful habits. She aims to make therapy useful on an everyday level so people can test new ways of reacting between visits.
Stephanie has worked across a wide age range during her career. She draws on experience with interpersonal conflict and family dynamics while staying focused on individual goals. She encourages clear goals and short-term skill building when that fits the person’s needs.
If someone wants to address anger that shows up at home or work, Stephanie offers a practical, skills-based approach that looks at triggers, thought patterns, and behavior changes. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sessions commonly draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what improves daily life. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce reactivity and lower physiological arousal when anger rises.She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track small wins between meetings. That approach is useful for people who want concrete steps and quick strategies to try at home or work. Together, the therapist and client decide which approaches to prioritize based on current problems, goals, and personal preferences. The selection is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy is easier to keep up. If you plan to use online care, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what will be offered. The emphasis is on making therapy usable within everyday life and on building skills that transfer to real situations.
