01About Stephanie
Stephanie Horner welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, or life changes. She speaks plainly and helps clients clarify what matters to them. Stephanie uses steady, practical steps so people can start feeling more able to manage day-to-day life.
Stephanie has 25 years of experience in counseling and therapy after a prior career in nursing. She worked in high-risk labor and delivery and as a school district health director before focusing on mental health.
Background and approach
That background shaped her practical, problem-solving approach to care. She now works primarily with adults and draws on several approaches. Stephanie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and act on them.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around each person’s pace and priorities. In the room she aims to be kind, direct, and occasionally funny, while taking concerns seriously.
Sessions focus on identifying clear problems, setting short-term goals, and practicing skills that fit into daily life. Topics Stephanie commonly addresses include depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, sleep trouble, anger, ADHD, career stress, and relationships. The overall aim is practical progress that lasts.
She helps people build skills they can keep using after therapy ends, so coping gets easier during stress, transitions, and growth.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Stephanie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps. ACT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions because it focuses on actions tied to personal values rather than only changing thoughts.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that lead to distress and to practice different behaviors. CBT works well for sleep problems, anxiety, low mood, and managing symptoms of ADHD through concrete strategies and homework. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how sessions are run, with the therapist following the client’s pace and priorities to keep work relevant and practical.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. This shared process helps ensure techniques match the client’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a short break, live chat is useful for focused check-ins, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
