About Stephanie
Stephanie Faison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her work explicitly includes concerns such as abandonment, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
She uses practical conversations to make space for difficult feelings. Sessions focus on naming what matters, noticing patterns that cause pain, and trying small changes that feel manageable. Stephanie emphasizes clear, direct tools rather than jargon-filled explanations.
Stephanie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness strategies. That means she blends noticing thoughts and emotions with clearer action steps and present-moment attention. Clients can expect both thoughts-focused work and exercises that connect values to behavior.
She has worked across many settings over two decades and brings that breadth to individual sessions. She often helps people untangle family patterns, cope with life changes, and rebuild a sense of direction after setbacks. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.
People who carry guilt or shame are invited to bring those stories into the conversation. The work typically includes talking through past choices, testing new responses, and practicing ways to live in line with personal values. Stephanie asks clear questions and offers concrete strategies to help move forward.
How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they value and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present. It focuses on committed action more than on eliminating feeling bad. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them and can reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which combination of ACT, CBT, or mindfulness fits best and adjust that plan over time.

Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills in everyday life and to bring specific real-life situations into sessions for immediate discussion.
