About Stephanie
Stephanie Harris is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of experience. She practices in Illinois and works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and anger. Stephanie uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what each person already knows about themselves and how they want to move forward.
She believes people often have the answers they need, and her role is to help them find and use those answers. Sessions emphasize identifying strengths, building confidence, and setting practical goals. Conversations are straightforward and focused on everyday steps that can reduce stress and improve relationships.
Stephanie’s background includes work in private practice, crisis centers, in-patient hospitals, employee assistance programs, community mental health, and primary care clinics. That variety shaped how she adapts conversations to fit different life situations and practical needs. She has assisted adults and couples as well as people from varied communities and circumstances.
Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Vermont and a master’s degree in counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University. She has experience helping people recover from trauma and uses talk-based therapy alongside other approaches described in session. Clients are invited to explore goals at a comfortable pace and experiment with changes between meetings.
People who come for help with anger often work on spotting early warning signs, managing strong impulses, and communicating about frustrations more clearly. Stephanie supports steps that reduce recurring conflict and help people feel more in control of how they respond.
How her therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps clarify goals, and supports practical next steps. This approach is useful for dealing with anger, relationship strain, anxiety, and life changes because it starts from what the client already understands about their situation.Stephanie also uses talk-based methods to address trauma and its effects on daily life. That work often involves helping people notice patterns, reframe upsetting memories, and practice different responses to stress. For people managing anger, this can mean building skills to notice triggers and choose calmer actions in the moment.
Finding the right method is part of the collaboration. Stephanie will discuss options, try approaches that match a person’s goals, and adjust based on how they respond. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how quickly to change course.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or no-camera conversations depending on what works best for them.
