About Stephanie
Stephanie Horner is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people cope with stress, parenting struggles, anxiety, depression, and grief. She introduces calm, practical steps so concerned parents can manage day-to-day challenges. Stephanie writes and talks plainly, and she listens closely to what matters most to each person.
She spent 10 years in nursing and 25 years in counseling and therapy, with roles that included high-risk labor and delivery nursing and school district health leadership. That background shaped her ability to respond to sudden change and stressful situations. Later work focused on children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral needs and their parents before she shifted to working primarily with adults.
In sessions she uses a client-centered style mixed with solution-focused tools. That means the conversation centers on the person's goals while also trying practical steps that can be used right away. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and practice new responses.
Parents often get help sorting out behavior, sleep problems, and relationship tension while learning new ways to set boundaries and routines. Stephanie emphasizes simple skills that build lasting change, such as managing strong feelings, improving communication, and handling transitions.
Her approach is warm and direct. She aims to guide people toward clear next steps, teach skills they can use at home, and support longer-term growth through life changes.
How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Stephanie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take value-driven action despite them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful choices rather than trying to eliminate every unpleasant feeling.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques are often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by practicing small, repeatable skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as things progress.
