About Stephanie
Dr. Stephanie Ferguson brings six years of clinical experience as an LPCC practicing in New Mexico and draws on a long background in education to inform her counseling work.
Background and approach
She helps people identify strengths and tackle issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem and confidence, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career or education decisions, coping with life changes, and coaching needs. Her approach is collaborative: she gets to know each client, meets them where they are, and tailors strategies from multiple therapies to fit their goals.
Ferguson emphasizes practical, person-centered care in a rural community setting, combining evidence-informed techniques with an appreciation for each client’s story and context.
She has worked with concerns that include trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, intimacy and sexual issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, compassion fatigue, and a range of family and interpersonal difficulties such as attachment and blended family issues. Clients can expect a counseling partner who values openness, curiosity, and steady support while they pursue a more fulfilling life.
Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care
Dr. Ferguson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress; CBT often focuses on specific thoughts and behaviors that can be changed to improve daily functioning. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which combines acceptance and mindfulness strategies with values-based action to support people facing life transitions, grieving, or ongoing emotional struggles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. She works with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then blends methods as needed so the plan matches the individual’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic limits. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, try different session rhythms, and access supportive conversations from wherever the client is located within New Mexico. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and client-centered techniques to these online formats to keep work focused and actionable while accommodating each person’s schedule.
