About Stefanie
Stefanie Kincaid is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of experience to her work and focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach
Stefanie encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. Her approach often combines ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. She uses these tools to help people change unhelpful thinking, manage intense emotions, and find motivation when it feels hard to move forward.
Parents who are juggling stress, mood changes, or postpartum concerns may find practical ways to cope and reconnect with their values. Stefanie also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma-related effects, and challenges linked to identity or intimacy. Sessions are paced to fit each person’s needs, with emphasis on listening first and trying small experiments together.
Stefanie aims to make therapy understandable and useful, so changes feel reachable rather than overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Stefanie commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with people online. CBT focuses on linking thoughts and behaviors so people can try new actions and notice how thinking changes feelings; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense reactions and improve relationships.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and to build momentum when motivation feels low. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to find the best fit together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when people prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules while trying approaches that match each person’s goals.
