About Stephanie
Stephanie Burl is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who supports people navigating parenting challenges and life changes. She brings five years of clinical experience and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for busy parents.

Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Stephanie listens for what feels most urgent and helps set small, doable goals. She uses clear language and works at a pace clients find comfortable.
Her approach pays attention to how relationships and roles shape feelings. That can include difficulties around control, divorce and separation, or forgiveness. She helps people notice patterns and try simple changes to reduce tension and improve day-to-day functioning.
Stephanie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. All sessions are conducted in English and are scheduled from her Illinois practice. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and pick times that work for them.
What Stephanie works with
Everything Stephanie lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Stephanie helps people with.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer communication. One common approach she uses centers on improving communication and relational patterns by identifying interaction habits and trying small behavioral changes to reduce conflict and frustration. This approach can help when communication problems, control issues, or relationship stress affect daily life.Another approach addresses trauma responses and intense anxiety by helping people process upsetting memories and learn coping skills for overwhelming moments. This work is useful for post-traumatic stress and social anxiety where strong reactions get in the way of parenting or everyday routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to understand goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adjust strategies as needed. Clients help set the pace and decide which tools to keep using.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while fitting around childcare or work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or when a quick problem comes up. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try new skills in real time.
