Stephanie Horner , LPCC

Stephanie Horner brings a broad background in healthcare and mental health to her work, with 35 years of combined experience that includes 10 years in nursing and 25 years in counseling and therapy. She trained and practiced as a high-risk labor and delivery nurse, served as a school district health director, developed at-risk programs, and worked as a mental health counselor supporting children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and special needs alongside their parents. She now focuses her practice primarily on adults and draws on that varied experience to understand the many stressors people face.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC - Stephanie applies a client-centered, solution-focused approach to issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, relationship and family problems, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She aims to help clients identify the core issues that brought them to therapy, clarify their wants and needs, and build practical skills and techniques that carry beyond the immediate problem.

Colleagues and clients can expect a practitioner who is kind, gentle, empathic and positive, yet also thoughtful, holistic and serious about finding workable solutions. Her goal is to empower people through transitions, growth, and life’s challenges so they can move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Stephanie Horner uses evidence-informed methods tailored to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the therapist supports the client's own insight and growth, which can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses patterns of thought and behavior by teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning, often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions that feel relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care from home or on the go. These options can accommodate busy schedules, mobility needs, and clients living in different locations while allowing licensed professionals to provide ongoing support and practical tools.
