About Stephanie
Stephanie Tran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Stephanie also supports concerns such as mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues common in young adulthood like identity, relationships, and life transitions.
She trained with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. In sessions she focuses on helping people speak up for themselves and take practical steps toward change. That can mean setting small goals, practicing new ways to handle strong emotions, and working through painful memories at a manageable pace.
Stephanie often addresses reactions that come after loss, trauma, or substance use. She helps clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out different strategies to interrupt those patterns. Conversations are straightforward and aim to build habits that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
She also assists people dealing with guilt, shame, communication problems, and the emotional aftereffects of disasters or violence. First responder issues and aging or co-morbid health concerns are included in her scope of practice. Stephanie encourages clients to become effective self-advocates and to practice accountability in ways that fit their life.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect four years of post-master's experience in counseling. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and formats when they schedule their first appointment.

One common approach focuses on processing trauma and post-traumatic stress through measured, step-by-step work to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Another approach addresses addiction and substance use by identifying triggers, building practical coping skills, and creating small, achievable goals for recovery.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Stephanie will discuss different ways of working and help you decide what seems most useful based on your current needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of techniques can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
