About Stephanie
Dr. Stephanie Ferguson is an LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico with six years of post-qualification experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strains, self-esteem problems, and life transitions. Dr. Ferguson also supports clients facing addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and career or education decisions.
Before moving into clinical counseling she spent about 30 years working in education. That background informs how she approaches motivation, goals, and practical problem solving with people. She has lived in several U.S. locations as a military spouse and brings that life experience to sessions.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She gets to know what matters to each client and draws from several approaches to develop a plan together. Sessions typically focus on concrete skills, clarity about values, and steps a person can try between meetings.
Dr. Ferguson lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Existential Therapy among the methods she uses. She combines elements from these approaches to address things like control issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns.
People who seek her help often want practical ways to manage anger, move through grief, improve relationships, or find clearer direction at work or school. She works with adults in New Mexico and holds sessions in English. To start, visitors complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that align with those values. It helps people reduce the power of difficult thoughts and take steps toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing an approach is a collaborative part of the work. She will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan together with the client rather than sticking to a single technique.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for practicing skills between meetings and for keeping momentum while balancing school, work, or family obligations.
