About Stephanie
Stephanie Howard is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationships, grief, parenting concerns, and related issues. She also lists work with addiction, LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Stephanie practices in English and does not accept international clients.
Her approach centers on building practical skills and noticing personal strengths. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness ideas to help people manage feelings and behavior. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, such as changing unhelpful thoughts or practicing calming exercises.
Stephanie often helps people improve how they relate to others. That includes communication with partners and family, managing resentment, and setting boundaries. She also offers support for the emotional strain of parenting, divorce, and attachment concerns. Work may include concrete problem-solving or short-term solution-focused planning when appropriate.
She describes using strength-based methods to encourage what is already working, while also developing new coping skills. Clients who struggle with panic, body image, social anxiety, and self-esteem can expect structured strategies alongside reflective conversation. Stephanie notes ongoing continuing education to refine her skills.
Practical steps are emphasized throughout therapy. Expect to identify one or two small goals, try techniques between sessions, and review progress each visit. This practical focus is meant to help people reduce reactive anger, manage daily stress, and move toward clearer decisions.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the person's concerns and goals at the center. The therapist listens and follows what the client brings up, then supports decisions and actions the client wants to take. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort out anger triggers and personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In practice this means identifying thinking patterns that fuel anger and testing alternative responses. CBT is useful for anger that shows up at work, in relationships, or as recurring frustration.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These can be short exercises used before difficult conversations or during moments of rising frustration to slow down impulsive replies.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the situation, and adjust what is used based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback and pick which techniques feel workable.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote appointments make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. The therapist and client can plan strategies that fit everyday routines and make practice between meetings more realistic.
