About Stephanie
Dr. Stephanie Ferguson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico. She brings six years of clinical experience and a long career in education to her counseling work. Her focus includes relationship concerns, self esteem, career challenges, stress and anxiety, and life transitions. She emphasizes helping people recognize strengths and move toward practical change.
She describes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She uses an eclectic style and tailors the approach to each person's needs. Sessions draw on evidence-based tools to address problems like depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues.
Her background includes many years in education followed by a Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree and work in a rural New Mexico community. That mix informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working with people who are juggling everyday pressures and life changes.
In sessions she helps clients set clear goals and break them into manageable steps. She also supports exploration of emotions tied to attachment, abandonment, guilt, and shame. Communication problems, codependency, and blended family concerns are also within her areas of focus.
She commonly uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to shape individualized plans. Dr. Ferguson invites people ready to take a next step to consider brief coaching-style work or longer therapy depending on their needs.
