About Stephanie
Stephanie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She brings a direct, compassionate approach to sessions and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and anger. Her style is warm and engaging and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
Stephanie uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Attachment-based work is part of her approach when relationships and family history are central to a concern. She helps people understand patterns such as abandonment, codependency, or family of origin issues and how those patterns show up now.
She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related problems, and communication struggles. Clients with career stress, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue find focused, goal-oriented support. Stephanie also works with people navigating life changes, isolation, and questions of life purpose.
She is experienced supporting people managing ADHD symptoms and impulsivity challenges. Sessions are conversational and practical. Stephanie helps people build skills, set small goals, and try new ways of responding in daily life.
She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adapt techniques from different approaches to match needs and preferences rather than using a single fixed method.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, homework support, or when written reflection helps processing. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, parenting, and travel.
