About Stephanie

Stephanie Crume is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ+ concerns, anger, relationship tension, and grief. Her focus also includes sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Stephanie frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and practical options people can use when feelings spike or problems pile up. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what feels unhelpful in day-to-day life and what can be changed.

Her work draws from several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for emotional regulation and handling intense moments without escalating.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed ideas to help people clarify values and understand how past relationships affect current reactions. Existential perspectives are available when people want to talk about meaning, choice, and responsibility.

Clients can expect clear, practical strategies and collaborative problem-solving. Conversations cover what happens in triggering situations, how to respond differently, and small experiments to try between sessions. The approach is direct and respectful, aimed at reducing the weight of recurring anger, anxiety, or stress so daily life feels more manageable.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Stephanie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and testing small changes in behavior to reduce stress and angry reactions. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and practice actions that reflect those values even when feelings are uncomfortable.

She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early relationship patterns influence current responses. That perspective can help when anger or relational tension feels tied to past hurts rather than the present moment. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; she will help clients decide what fits their situation and goals rather than imposing a single method.

The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel. Therapists generally adapt exercises and skills practice to work over video or phone so people can try tools between sessions and build better responses to anger and stress in everyday life.
