Stephanie Faison

Stephanie Faison is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, self esteem, and coping with life changes. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

She creates a calm space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. In sessions she listens, asks clear questions, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. The goal is to identify small, doable steps that feel realistic in daily life.

Stephanie draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her work. That mix is used to help people learn new ways to respond to stress and to build confidence over time. She uses techniques that teach practical skills rather than relying on jargon.

Her practice includes attention to areas like caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, grief from abandonment, midlife changes, and struggles with life purpose. She also supports people facing age-related concerns and seasonal mood shifts. These themes are woven into sessions when they match a person’s goals.

People who come for help often want straightforward tools and steady support. Stephanie helps set achievable goals, checks progress, and adjusts the plan when needed. She emphasizes collaboration so clients can leave sessions with steps they can actually use.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values. It can help when someone feels stuck by worry, low motivation, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises to break unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadiness during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those aims. That process is collaborative and may involve adjusting methods over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so exercises feel relevant to everyday life.
