About Stephanie

Stephanie Frey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Iowa who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related mood and anxiety concerns.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical practice, she draws on practical therapeutic tools to support clients navigating life changes, improving self-esteem, and addressing obsessive or panic symptoms. Her background includes work with children aged 6 and up, teens, adults, and families, and she has experience in dual diagnosis and crisis intervention.

Her style is warm, accepting, and goal-oriented, combining client-centered principles with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore patterns, build coping skills, and develop concrete strategies that fit their daily life.

Stephanie prioritizes collaboration, tailoring treatment to each person’s values and needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions emphasize practical steps alongside personal growth, helping clients move from understanding to action.

Whether someone is dealing with persistent worry, the practical challenges of ADHD, or the aftermath of trauma, she works to identify realistic goals and supports clients in making sustainable changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's own goals and strengths guide each session; this approach helps when the priority is feeling heard, building self-awareness, and tapping personal resources. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical skills useful for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, OCD-related symptoms, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so treatment stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Stephanie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from where clients are located in Iowa. The online setup supports practical, skills-focused work while preserving the collaborative, client-centered relationship at the heart of therapy.
