About Stephanie

Stephanie Drouin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She draws on a decade of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. Stephanie aims to meet each person where they are and to treat them with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She keeps conversations practical and focused on what will help in daily life. In sessions Stephanie adapts the plan to the individual rather than using the same approach for everyone.

Background and approach

She blends methods from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that contribute to worry and low mood. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy and Narrative Therapy tools to help clients notice patterns and reframe difficult experiences. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Treatment often includes small skills to practice between sessions and ways to measure progress over time. Stephanie has worked in clinical settings for ten years and holds Missouri LPC credential number MO LPC 2015009924.

Her background gives her experience with a wide range of practical life challenges, including coping with change, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues related to family and belonging. Clients work with Stephanie through a subscription model that allows flexible scheduling. Sessions are offered in English and take place via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapy approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from. The therapist offers empathy and works with clients to build goals they find meaningful, which helps when someone wants a respectful, collaborative space to talk about their struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will help figure out what methods feel most useful based on goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, and the plan can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to choose what fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that means a face-to-face video meeting or shorter check-ins by text. The flexibility makes it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and other responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
