About Stephanie
Stephanie Horner is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in New Mexico with 25 years of counseling experience. She works primarily with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, depression, relationships, family concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, career issues, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
She began her career in healthcare and spent a decade in nursing, including high-risk labor and delivery. She later served as a school district health director and developed at-risk programs, before moving into counseling work with children, adolescents, and their parents. Her background gives her a broad view of how health, family systems, and life events affect daily functioning.
In clinical work she focuses on identifying practical problems and building skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where helpful, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, client-centered methods, and solution-focused work. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people clarify what matters, set realistic steps, and practice skills between meetings. The approach is direct and uses short-term strategies when appropriate, with attention to longer-term patterns when needed.
She now works mainly with adults and draws on her earlier experience with schools and health settings when relevant. English is offered; international clients are accepted. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses through exercises and between-session practice. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative conversation where the therapist listens and reflects to help people clarify goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will discuss these methods with each person and agree on a plan that fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples into sessions without needing to travel.
