Stephanie Faison, LCMHC - Therapist in North Carolina

About Stephanie

Stephanie Faison is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina. She brings 20 years of experience to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family difficulties, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She aims to make the first step toward change feel doable and supported.

She uses clear, straightforward methods so families can talk through what matters most. Sessions are set up to let people say what they think and feel without judgment.

Background and approach

The work often focuses on practical skills, clearer communication, and building confidence over time. Stephanie draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to match each person’s needs. That means helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice mindful skills that reduce stress.

She explains approaches in plain language so families understand each step. With many years in practice, she has worked with a wide range of concerns including caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, life purpose questions, and midlife shifts. She also has experience with issues like social anxiety, seasonal mood changes, and feelings around aging and loss.

Sessions can include conversations about forgiveness, guilt, and repairing family patterns. The focus is practical - small changes that improve daily life and relationships. Stephanie aims to empower people to move toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often with simple exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and make stress easier to manage in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow people to meet from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue work during life transitions. The format supports regular follow-up, homework checks, and steady progress toward clearer communication and better coping.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
