About Stephanie
Stephanie Fagan is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in West Virginia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She makes room for honest conversation and practical steps toward feeling steadier day to day.
Her approach begins with listening. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they’re feeling and what’s getting in the way.
Background and approach
From there she and the client set simple goals and pick methods that fit the person’s life and values. Stephanie has worked across a range of concerns, including postpartum depression, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness. She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, chronic pain and illness, and fertility or pregnancy-related stress.
People who reach out can expect straightforward talk about coping strategies, problem solving, and ways to reduce everyday overwhelm. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on small changes that add up over time. Her West Virginia licensure is LICSW, and she draws on a decade of clinical practice to support folks through transitions and difficult moments.
She encourages anyone considering help to take the first step and start a conversation about what they need.
Practical therapy methods and online access
Stephanie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and steady progress. One approach emphasizes practical coping strategies for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and simple behavior changes to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another concentrates on trauma-informed care, helping people safely process difficult experiences while building skills to manage triggers and intrusive memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Clients are involved in choosing what to try and when to adjust the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people connect from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and keep momentum between meetings. The variety of options helps adapt therapy to different preferences and life demands while keeping focused on progress.
