About Stephanie
Stephanie Beattie is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 19 years of clinical work to conversations about parenting and life stress. She works with adults coping with anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and family conflict. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Stephanie creates a calm space where clients can talk through what matters most.
Background and approach
She listens without judgment and helps people name priorities and practical next steps. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that fit day-to-day life. Her background includes years of work with mood disorders, trauma, substance use concerns, and LGBTQ clients.
That experience shapes how she supports people struggling with panic, bipolar symptoms, or the long work of rebuilding after loss or abuse. She also addresses relationship strain, communication problems, and issues around intimacy and self-worth. Stephanie uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness skills to reduce stress. She also uses solution-focused steps and trauma-informed practices when those fit a client’s goals. People who want straightforward feedback, practical tools, and a steady presence often find her style helpful.
She supports parents who need strategies for managing stress and family tensions, and she works with individuals seeking clearer boundaries, coping skills, or direction during life changes.

Online approaches that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what matters and what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward tools to manage anxiety, panic, and low mood.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick strategies and adjust them over time so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer real flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can fit short check-ins or busy schedules, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting routines while keeping progress steady and practical.
