About Stephanie

Stephanie Smith is an LPC with 17 years of clinical experience in Tennessee who focuses on helping people navigate difficult emotional experiences and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, and symptoms associated with ADHD, while also working with trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care-related issues, codependency, communication problems, and family dynamics.

Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate stance that supports clients in building resilience, clearer self-understanding, and healthier coping habits. She blends practical skills training with exploratory work aimed at processing past hurts and strengthening emotional regulation.

Clients can expect someone who values both empathy and structured techniques to make progress on goals like improving sleep, managing anger, or addressing substance-related concerns. Stephanie aims to help people develop more self-love and sustainable changes rather than quick fixes, and she offers flexible online session formats to fit different lifestyles.

She welcomes individuals ready to engage in a focused, goal-oriented process toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Stephanie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood swings, and everyday stressors. EMDR offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided bilateral stimulation and rescripting work.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps fit care into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or other locations within Tennessee, support consistent attendance, and allow for a mix of real-time conversation and flexible messaging between sessions.
