About Stephanie
Stephanie Smith-Daniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with seven years of experience. She works with people who have anxiety, low self-esteem, and related struggles. Her focus also includes stress and compassion fatigue.
Stephanie uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and solution-focused ideas to clarify values and next steps.
Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented. Conversations often include short experiments, small behavior changes, and noticing patterns that repeat. Clients learn simple tools to reduce worry, build confidence, and manage stress in everyday life.
Stephanie pays attention to problems that come up around communication, control, feelings of emptiness, and social anxiety. She also addresses forgiveness, isolation, and building self-love through practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her work blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from CBT and mindfulness. That means listening to what is most pressing, then testing concrete strategies that can be adjusted over time. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than sudden fixes.
How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered Work Online
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered approaches in her online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve confidence. ACT emphasizes values-based goals and learning to act toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Client-centered work prioritizes clear listening and collaborative problem identification so the next steps come from the client's priorities.Choosing an approach is part of the work. She will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may shift as practical experiments are tried and assessed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and making regular check-ins easier to keep. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can support short skill-focused meetings, weekday check-ins, or traditional therapy-length appointments, which helps therapy fit into everyday life without requiring major changes to your routine.
