About Stephanie

Stephanie Faison, LCMHC, draws on two decades of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and life transitions.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and mindfulness practices to help clients explore thoughts, emotions, and habits that get in the way of feeling more capable and purposeful. Her work emphasizes practical skills and greater emotional awareness to support day-to-day coping and long-term change.

Stephanie creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about sensitive concerns like abandonment, caregiving stress, codependency, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and midlife or life-purpose questions. She also addresses a range of personality-related issues and situational conditions including aging and geriatric issues, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and social anxiety.

Based in North Carolina and licensed as an LCMHC, she aims to empower clients to take courageous steps toward a more satisfying life by collaborating on realistic goals and strategies that fit each person’s situation.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to build concrete coping skills for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is offered as a complementary approach that focuses on values, willingness to experience difficult emotions, and committed action toward meaningful goals. These approaches are presented in straightforward, teachable steps that suit many everyday life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will work with each person to consider their needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt strategies over time so therapy feels useful and aligned with what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide scheduling flexibility and allow continuity of care from home or work. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives while still accessing the same therapeutic methods and skill-building exercises used in traditional settings.
