About Stephanie
Stephanie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She offers a direct, respectful approach and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and relationship or parenting struggles. Her tone is warm and practical and she focuses on small, usable steps people can try right away.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and managing impulsivity. Attachment-Based techniques help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns and closeness. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
She listens for patterns, offers simple tools, and practices new ways of coping together. People can expect direct feedback, hands-on strategies, and space to process painful experiences like trauma or loss. Stephanie has worked in roles from clinician to clinical director.
That background informs her practical focus on what helps people get through daily life and maintain functioning during big changes. She is familiar with long-term mood conditions and complex trauma responses. Her work also includes supporting those dealing with grief, career stress, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She accepts international clients and provides services in English. Online sessions include video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for stress, life changes, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. That approach is helpful for day-to-day mood and coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and communicating in relationships.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust over time. Clients and the therapist review what works and focus on practical changes that match preferences and life demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, skill reminders, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
