Stephanie Faison, LCMHC

Stephanie Faison is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients take practical steps toward feeling better.

In sessions she focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, trouble with motivation, and family conflict. She creates an open atmosphere where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. That calm, respectful tone is intended to help clients feel comfortable taking risks and trying new ways of coping.

Stephanie uses methods that emphasize present-moment awareness and practical skill building. She draws on approaches that help people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful thinking, and practice simple mindfulness skills. These tools are used flexibly to address issues such as social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and midlife transitions.

Her background includes two decades of hands-on clinical work in varied settings. That experience informs a practical approach to problems like caregiver stress, codependency, and communication difficulties. Sessions often focus on setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and reviewing what works.

People who choose Stephanie can expect a collaborative working style. She supports clients as they set goals, try concrete strategies, and track progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small actions toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, life transitions, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and build moment-to-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. Sessions are collaborative, and adjustments are made based on what proves most helpful in practice.

Session formats for this therapist are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow for focused check-ins without a lengthy in-person visit. It also supports using worksheets, home practice, and between-session experiments that reinforce skills learned in session.
