Stephanie Howard, LPCC - Therapist in Kentucky

About Stephanie

Stephanie Howard is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy understandable for busy parents. Her approach seeks small, practical steps so families can function better day to day.

She uses a strength-based mindset, helping people notice what they already do well. From there she builds simple plans to handle stress, anger, or grief.

Background and approach

She also helps parents develop clearer routines and healthier interactions with children and partners. Stephanie draws on methods from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide sessions. She blends mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when those fit a family's needs.

Sessions emphasize coping skills that can be used at home between meetings. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling and seven years of clinical work. She is licensed in Kentucky as an LPCC with license number KY LPCC 260971.

She continues professional learning to sharpen her counseling skills. In sessions she listens first, then helps set attainable goals. Parents and family members leave with concrete steps to try and with ways to notice progress.

The tone is practical and encouraging rather than lecturing.

Approaches that translate well to online family care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person. It helps parents and family members feel heard and shapes goals around what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful reactions.

Stephanie treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She works with clients to try methods that match their needs and goals. Together they adjust techniques until a practical fit emerges for the family or individual.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around school and work, practice new skills between meetings, and check in when issues arise. The mix of formats can help families use therapy in ways that fit everyday life.

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.
