About Stephanie

Stephanie Faison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and life changes. She works directly with issues like codependency, communication problems, and coping with midlife transitions.

Stephanie uses straightforward conversations to identify what feels stuck. She relies on practical methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than big promises.

People can expect clear goals and real-life exercises. That might include noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new ways of speaking up, or learning short mindfulness practices to quiet anxiety. Progress is measured by what changes in daily life, not by labels.

Her experience includes supporting caregivers, addressing shame and guilt, and working with issues related to abandonment or dependent personality patterns. She also has experience with aging and seasonal mood shifts. Stephanie draws on two decades of work to adapt approaches to each person's situation.

She conducts sessions in English and practices in North Carolina as an LCMHC. If someone struggles with people-pleasing or difficulty saying no, she helps them build clearer boundaries and habits that protect their time and energy.

How sessions work

How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when someone feels stuck in people-pleasing or avoids making changes that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. This can help reduce anxiety and improve communication. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of what is happening in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together. If one approach does not fit, adjustments are made collaboratively until the plan suits the person’s needs and preferences.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people practice changes between sessions and bring real-life problems into the conversation.
