About Stephanie

Stephanie Hegle is a licensed professional counselor who uses warm, practical therapy to help people facing hard life moments. She focuses on clear, useful skills so clients can manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Her approach is conversational and grounded, aimed at making therapy feel doable for busy lives.

Stephanie earned a master’s degree in counseling and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Michigan. She has been practicing for 10 years and brings steady experience to each session.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with survivors of domestic violence and people coping with relationship struggles and caregiver stress. In sessions she often uses client-centered methods to listen closely and build partnership. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and find concrete ways to change it.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help set realistic goals and keep momentum moving forward. Parents who are juggling single parenting, pregnancy and childbirth changes, or family conflicts can expect practical tools and gentle guidance. Stephanie also supports people dealing with trauma, depression, sleep problems, anger, and life transitions.

She addresses co-occurring concerns like money stress, codependency, and finding life purpose. Her style is straightforward and encouraging. Sessions aim to be collaborative - figuring out what matters most and taking small steps toward it.

People who prefer clear plans and kind feedback may find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy works

Stephanie often uses Client-Centered Therapy to begin, which means listening closely and following the client’s lead. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also a frequent tool; it focuses on identifying thought patterns that cause distress and trying small behavior changes to improve mood and daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she will recommend methods and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the client’s life and aims.

Online therapy sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, childcare, or other responsibilities. They also make it easier to keep momentum between visits by using messaging or chat for short check-ins and support.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
