About Stephanie
Stephanie Horner, LPCC, helps parents and individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, or life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. Her approach aims to find practical steps that fit daily life and reduce immediate strain.
Stephanie spent 10 years in nursing before moving into counseling, and she has 25 years of clinical experience as a counselor and therapist.
Background and approach
That background includes work in labor and delivery, school health leadership, at-risk program development, and counseling children, adolescents, and parents. She now focuses mainly on adults while keeping that broad experience in mind. In sessions she uses clear, goal-oriented methods.
Conversations focus on identifying the specific problems, what the client wants to change, and simple skills to try between meetings. She balances warmth and straightforward guidance to help people practice new habits and responses. Parents will find help with common concerns such as sleep issues, anger, stress, and parenting struggles.
Stephanie also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, career changes, and attention differences like ADHD. Her style is gentle and practical. She combines client-centered listening with solution-focused techniques and mindfulness tools.
The aim is to build lasting skills that work beyond the therapy room.

Practical approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small actions in that direction. It can help when anxiety, stress, or parenting demands get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers straightforward techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and supporting the client's own goals; it helps people feel heard while they work through change.Finding the best approach is part of the work with Stephanie. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so sessions fit the client's life and produce usable skills.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, live chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These choices make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing parenting, work, and daily demands.
