About Stephanie
Stephanie Drouin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. Stephanie uses straightforward conversation and concrete tools to address daily problems.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thinking patterns that increase distress. She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing help when someone needs moment-to-moment coping skills or a plan to change habits.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going and offers simple experiments to test different responses. She talks through communication strategies for relationship strain and coping skills for grief, anger, and career stress. For trauma and abuse, she moves at a pace set by the client and focuses on practical stabilization steps first.
Stephanie also addresses issues like codependency, attachment concerns, commitment issues, family of origin problems, and compassion fatigue. She works with people facing life transitions, first responder stress, and challenges tied to aging or bereavement. Everyone gets clear options and suggested next steps.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Stephanie conducts sessions in English and does not work with international clients.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT in this context focuses on short, actionable experiments and skill practice that can be done between sessions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on what the person wants to change, and Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding skills for managing strong emotions. Client-Centered work centers the person's goals, while mindfulness gives simple tools for calming and noticing reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. This process involves reviewing what has helped before and trying a few practical options to see what feels useful.

These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum between appointments.
