About Stephanie
Stephanie Horner is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - based in New Mexico with 25 years of counseling experience. She works primarily with adults and helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, trauma and adjustment to life changes.
Her background includes a decade in nursing and extensive roles in school health and at-risk program development. That clinical breadth informs how she listens and responds. Sessions focus on identifying the issues that matter, clarifying what the person wants, and building practical skills to manage day-to-day problems.
Stephanie draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take workable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to uncover patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness and client-centered methods shape how she works with emotions and present-moment experience.
Her stated aim is practical: guide people to identify relevant problems, learn skills, and apply them beyond the immediate crisis. She balances a direct, solution-focused stance with a conversational bedside manner developed during years in healthcare and school settings.
Sessions are conversational and skill-oriented. Clients can expect help breaking large stresses into manageable steps, experimenting with new reactions, and practicing strategies between meetings. For those worried about anger, she helps translate explosive moments into clearer choices and calmer habits.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It is useful when anger or anxiety gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems active and testing new, more helpful responses in real situations. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and make it easier to follow through with skills between meetings. A therapist can also suggest practical ways to use online meetings for role practice, behavioral experiments, and real-time coaching around anger and stress management.
