About Stephanie
Stephanie Horner is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 25 years of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing big life changes. Stephanie offers straightforward, practical support for anger, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career concerns, and attention challenges.
She brings a long history in healthcare and education to her counseling work. Earlier in her career she spent a decade in nursing, including high-risk labor and delivery, and later worked as a school district health director and program developer for at-risk youth.
Background and approach
That background shaped her down-to-earth style and understanding of life stressors. Stephanie now works primarily with adults. Sessions center on identifying the key problems, clarifying goals, and learning specific skills that can be used day to day.
She aims for approaches that people can apply outside of sessions to handle stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain. Her manner is warm, attentive, and often gently humorous, while also being thoughtful and solution-focused. She combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and acceptance-based approaches.
The goal in her work is practical change. Clients learn new ways to cope, manage emotions, and move through transitions. Stephanie emphasizes skills that support ongoing growth, not just short-term fixes.

Practical approaches you can use online
Stephanie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match what matters most; it can help when anxiety, anger, or life transitions make choices feel hard. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches step-by-step strategies to change unhelpful patterns such as worry, avoidance, or sleep disruption.She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness principles to keep sessions collaborative and grounded. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit best. Finding the right mix is a shared process based on the client's goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter updates when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work on coping skills between sessions.
