About Stephanie

Stephanie Horner, LPCC, greets people with a warm, straightforward approach. She has 25 years of counseling experience and a long background in healthcare. Stephanie focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, parenting concerns, trauma, and life changes. She works mainly with adults and aims to help clients find practical ways forward.

Stephanie began her career in nursing and moved into mental health work, bringing real-world experience to therapy. That background includes work in high-risk labor and delivery and school health programs. Over time she has supported children, adolescents, and their parents, and now concentrates on adult care.

In sessions she listens first and helps people name the main problems. She uses goal-focused conversations to identify what clients want and need. Then she suggests skills and techniques clients can use between sessions to manage stress, mood, sleep, and anger.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She favors practical, solution-focused steps while keeping a thoughtful, whole-person perspective. Stephanie describes herself as kind, gentle, and occasionally funny, and also serious and thoughtful when the work requires it.

The aim is empowerment rather than quick fixes. Stephanie helps people build tools that work beyond the immediate crisis. That way skills learned in therapy can support future transitions and ongoing growth.

How ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck when life changes feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns. It tends to be structured and skill-focused, which can make progress feel measurable.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects what matters to the person and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for building self esteem and working through relationship or parenting concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins, sessions without video when needed, and fewer logistical disruptions, which helps therapy stay consistent during busy or changing seasons.
