About Stephanie
Stephanie Faison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Stephanie lists social anxiety and phobia among her additional focus areas.
She uses practical talk and structured techniques in sessions. Clients can expect to discuss what is most pressing and to practice ways of managing worry and difficult moments. Stephanie draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based strategies to clarify values and next steps.
Mindfulness methods are offered to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them. Work often includes simple exercises to repeat between meetings so skills build over time rather than all at once.
Stephanie has spent two decades helping people who struggle with communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and life transitions such as midlife concerns or caregiver stress. She also lists issues like abandonment, dependent and avoidant personality features, and seasonal affective disorder among topics she addresses.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, practical skills, and gradual changes that fit everyday life. To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching tools and schedule a first appointment to see how her approach might fit their needs.
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions toward what matters despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and situations where worry gets in the way of meaningful life activities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing skills to reduce reactivity and to increase awareness of body sensations and thought patterns. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so sessions fit the person's needs and preferences. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when stress spikes. They can also let someone choose a shorter session or an audio-only meeting when camera time is difficult. Ask about session length and any format options during the matching and scheduling steps so practical arrangements match everyday life needs.Areas of expertise
