About Stefanie
Stefanie Kincaid is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation concerns, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Stefanie focuses on concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
She uses structured approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include identifying specific patterns, testing new responses, and tracking what changes. Stefanie treats therapy as practical work rather than abstract talk.
Stefanie invites clients to tell their story and highlights existing strengths. She encourages small experiments that build confidence. Conversations aim to clarify values and next steps people can try right away.
Her background includes a mix of goal-focused methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches inform a straightforward style that emphasizes skills, coping tools, and clearer choices.
Clients who prefer a step-by-step plan, concrete tools, and regular review of progress often fit well with this approach. Stefanie helps people set manageable goals, track what works, and adjust plans when needed. She invites questions about how sessions are structured before scheduling a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stefanie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify problematic thought patterns and try different responses. CBT in practice means setting clear goals, using short experiments between sessions, and reviewing what changed in the next meeting. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach stress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills offer practical tools people can practice when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about change; it focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stefanie will discuss goals, preferences, and a person’s daily routine to decide which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process where approaches are adjusted based on what helps most. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer a particular setup, note it when you complete the matching questionnaire so it can be discussed at scheduling.Areas of expertise
