About Stephanie
Stephanie Howard, LPCC, focuses on helping parents and individuals who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, grief, or major life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel practical and hopeful for people looking to improve daily life and family relationships. She uses a client-centered style that keeps the conversation focused on each person’s needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools and solution-focused techniques add short-term strategies for managing strong emotions and moving toward goals. Stephanie has seven years of counseling experience and practices in Kentucky. Her background includes work with people facing depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship problems, and parenting stress.
She often helps people strengthen self-esteem, manage anger, and cope with panic or bipolar symptoms in everyday terms. Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Stephanie listens for strengths you may be overlooking, then outlines small, doable steps to try between meetings.
Parents are supported with concrete strategies to handle child behavior, family conflict, and the strain of raising children. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling and state licensure as an LPCC in Kentucky. Stephanie continues ongoing education to refine practical skills for therapy and to keep her approach up to date.

Practical approaches online for parents and individuals
Stephanie uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive space where the conversation follows each person's priorities. This approach emphasizes listening, recognizing strengths, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to stress or avoidance and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and parenting-related worries where small behavior shifts can have big effects.
She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques can reduce reactivity, help with emotional regulation, and make parenting moments feel calmer.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Stephanie will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is or isn’t helping.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy family life. Video calls let people read nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a quieter low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep momentum while balancing work, school, and caregiving.
