About Stephanie

Stephanie Howard is a Kentucky LPCC with seven years of counseling experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, addiction, and life changes. She practices with attention to everyday problems and practical coping skills.

Stephanie uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and helps build on them. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Studies from Eastern Kentucky University and a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling from Liberty University. She completed the Kentucky licensure process and holds the LPCC credential in Kentucky.

In practice she blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to teach practical strategies for handling anger, managing panic, and navigating relationship conflicts. Sessions often include skill practice, thought work, and mindfulness exercises.

Stephanie has experience helping people improve coping skills for stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also works with concerns around attachment, body image, divorce and separation, and social anxiety. Sessions aim for clear goals and measurable steps toward change.

People who choose her can expect a direct, strengths-based approach that centers on real-life solutions. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats through the booking process.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Stephanie routinely uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the client, helping people feel heard and understood. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce anger and anxiety symptoms.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding exercises that lower reactivity. Mindfulness practices can help with panic attacks, stress, and getting less swept up in strong emotions. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process - the therapist and client figure out what fits the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs together.

Confirm the currently offered session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions.
