Stephanie Faison, LCMHC

Stephanie Faison is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family concerns, and build motivation and self-esteem. Her language is straightforward and practical so parents and carers can read easily on the go.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady steps rather than rushed fixes. Clients are invited to try small changes between meetings and to notice what helps in daily life.

Stephanie uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to address worries, low mood, problems with communication, and life transitions like midlife changes or caregiver stress. She adapts tools to fit each person's situation and pace.

Her background spans community and clinical settings over two decades. That experience informs practical strategies for coping with guilt, shame, social anxiety, or challenges linked to aging and caregiving. She also supports people facing issues like codependency, abandonment concerns, or seasonal mood changes.

Stephanie encourages each person to set goals that feel manageable. She works collaboratively and aims to help people build skills they can use long after sessions end. This profile appears in a directory that highlights support for carers and related stresses.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that fit their values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life-change decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry and improve mood. It works well for social anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with anxiety and caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then try methods that fit the person. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them practice new skills in their everyday routines and follow up on real-life challenges between meetings.
