About Stephenie
Stephenie Connelly is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, anger, and challenges with self-esteem. Her practice also addresses ADHD-related concerns, relationship and family struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most pressing. Sessions focus on practical steps and small adjustments that can make daily life easier. Stephenie emphasizes clear communication and pacing that fits each person’s comfort level.
Her approach draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When trauma is part of the story she incorporates trauma-focused methods to reduce distress and improve coping. Treatment choices are explained in plain language so clients understand what will happen in sessions.
Stephenie supports people who are worn down by caregiving duties, dealing with compassion fatigue, or facing life transitions. She also helps with communication problems and building self-love after difficult experiences. Sessions aim to build small, achievable skills rather than quick fixes.
People meet her expecting direct, calm conversation and a steady focus on practical tools. She asks about daily routines and stressors, and then works with clients to try strategies that can be used between sessions. The first meetings are used to set goals and plan how to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches used during online sessions
Stephenie combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people who struggle with anxiety, stress, and everyday problems. Client-centered Therapy focuses on hearing a person's perspective and building clear goals together, which can be useful when social situations or parenting pressures feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that increase worry or avoidance, and then practice small experiments to test new responses. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic events affect current coping, with careful steps to reduce distress and build stronger coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephenie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. Decisions about techniques are made together so the plan fits the client's needs and pace.
