About Stefanie
Stefanie Kincaid is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and depression. She also addresses relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, and career-related stress.
Stefanie frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she talks through what is getting in the way and helps people try practical steps. She uses clear, direct conversation rather than abstract talk.
Her approach draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative ideas to reframe difficult experiences. These tools are used to address things like panic, mood swings, and trouble with intimacy.
People come to her for help with big life changes, parenting stress, fertility-related emotional strain, and challenges after childbirth. She also supports those facing identity questions, isolation, body image concerns, and compulsive or impulsive behavior.
Stefanie aims to make therapy practical. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can use between meetings. She encourages tracking progress and adjusting plans as needs change.
How Stefanie’s approaches translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related problems and gives clear exercises to try between sessions. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches skills to manage intense emotions and improve distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, and strong mood shifts. Motivational interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify what they want to change and build internal motivation for practical steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stefanie discusses your goals and preferences and together you decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision is reviewed as progress is tracked and needs change.
The biography does not specify which session formats she offers, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work or school day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to work over remote sessions, and motivational interviewing translates well to conversation-based meetings. Confirm format details so sessions match your routine.
