About Stephanie
Stephanie Harris is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing from Illinois. She brings ten years of counseling experience and a calm, straightforward approach to sessions. Stephanie focuses on helping people manage life stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship struggles.
She aims to help clients find clearer direction, build confidence, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and manageable. Stephanie uses a client-centered style that puts the person's own goals and wisdom at the center of the work.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and asks practical questions that help clients see new options. She helps people name strengths, try small changes, and track what works for them. Her background includes work in independent practice, crisis centers, inpatient hospitals, employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, and primary care clinics.
Those settings gave her experience supporting people through trauma, addictions, life transitions, and complicated medical or legal stressors. The variety of roles shaped how she adapts her approach to different needs. Stephanie earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University.
She holds an Illinois LCPC credential. Her clinical experience has included work with adults and couples and people facing a wide range of challenges. In sessions she aims to be practical, respectful, and collaborative.
Clients can expect clear goals, direct feedback, and tools they can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control of daily problems.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Stephanie practices Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on the client's own goals and choices. This approach involves active listening, open questions, and reflection to help people identify what matters and decide on next steps. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger, and life transitions.The therapist also applies a trauma-informed perspective when past hurt affects current functioning. That means sessions pay attention to how trauma shows up in relationships and daily life, and the work moves at a pace that feels manageable. This can help people feeling overwhelmed by traumatic memories or their effects on trust and safety.
Deciding on the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single path. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as they learn what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes or updates between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
