About Stephanie

Stephanie Crume is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and issues related to grief, intimacy, or family conflict. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, and concerns tied to caregiving and chronic illness.

Her approach treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical steps and real choices. Conversations look at patterns that keep someone stuck, like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s drinking or crises. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier actions rather than quick fixes.

Stephanie draws on several therapy methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people decide what matters and take committed steps toward those values. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships affect current ones.

Sessions include short-term skills work and deeper discussion depending on what a person needs. Homework or exercises are often part of the plan, so progress continues between meetings. Stephanie keeps language direct and practical so people can try things out right away.

She also works with issues around abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; confirm session formats before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they care about and take small, consistent actions toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from old patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and improving sleep or daily routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and reactions. It can help people who struggle with intimacy, trust, or repeated relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods and next steps are made collaboratively so the plan fits daily life.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful to try a session and then adjust frequency or methods based on how the work is progressing.
