About Stephanie
Stephanie Crume is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, grief, and ADHD. She also supports people facing relationship strain, intimacy challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Stephanie takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps and skills. Sessions aim to identify what gets in the way and build small changes that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Her work draws on pragmatic therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to manage thoughts and build flexibility. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape patterns of feeling and reacting. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Stephanie is experienced supporting people through trauma, grief, parenting pressures, sleep problems, and issues related to identity and LGBTQ concerns. She listens for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths toward goals. The pace is collaborative - she meets people where they are and adjusts as needed.
People who choose Stephanie can expect clear priorities each session and tools to practice between meetings. Her goal is to help clients make steady progress on problems that feel overwhelming and to restore a greater sense of control and meaning in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Stephanie combines several practical approaches to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while committing to actions that match personal values. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape coping styles and helps people form healthier patterns in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Over time methods are adjusted based on what helps most, and sessions focus on useful tools you can apply between meetings.
Online therapy with Stephanie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people maintain progress with brief check-ins or coaching-style support during busy weeks.
