About Stephanie
Stephanie Cooley is an MS LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 17 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with relationships and parenting. She also works with issues like addiction, grief, eating concerns, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and LGBTQ-related matters. Sessions are conducted in English and Stephanie does not take international clients.
Stephanie uses straightforward, skills-based approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Trauma-Focused work when past events are affecting day-to-day life, and Mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind in difficult moments.
In conversation she keeps things practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through specific situations that trigger anger or stress, try new responses in session, and practice brief exercises to use between meetings. She pays attention to relationships and family dynamics that often shape how people express frustration.
Stephanie’s background includes work across a wide age range, and she brings long-term experience rather than quick fixes. Her counseling style emphasizes clear tools and steady guidance for handling strong feelings. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. That first meeting is used to set goals and decide which approaches will be most useful going forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness practice teaches brief attention and breathing exercises to lower reactivity and calm strong emotions.She also draws on Solution-Focused ideas when people want quick, practical steps. That approach targets specific goals and small changes you can try between sessions to see what helps. Choosing which methods to emphasize is a collaborative process; the therapist and client will decide together based on needs, goals, and preferences.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online options can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins on a phone can work around work breaks, and video sessions allow for face-to-face dialogue when that feels important. The first session is used to set goals and agree on an approach that suits your everyday routine.
