About Stephanie
Stephanie Horner is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in New Mexico with 25 years of counseling experience. She now works mainly with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, career issues, life changes, and ADHD.
She began her career in healthcare and spent a decade in nursing, including high-risk labor and delivery. That clinical background and later roles in school health and at-risk program development shaped how she listens and responds. She also has many years working with children, adolescents, and their parents, though her current focus is adult clients.
Her approach draws on straightforward, practical methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, client-centered work, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions tend to identify the core issues, set clear goals, and teach skills that can be used after therapy ends.
In sessions she balances a light touch with serious problem-solving. She describes herself as thoughtful and client-centered, and also brings humor when it fits. The emphasis is on finding concrete steps to reduce stress, manage anger, improve sleep, and handle tough transitions.
Her background in nursing and school health often shows up in how she organizes care and explains options. People who prefer practical, skills-based work with a counselor who has broad life and clinical experience often find this approach a good match.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so someone can move toward what matters even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean blending ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing over several sessions to find what helps most.
