About Stephanye
Stephanye Clagett is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with four years of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as low self-esteem and grief. Stephanye emphasizes finding the roots of a problem and learning practical ways to cope.
Her route into counseling began after more than a decade working as a chiropractor. That background led her to notice how physical pain and emotional distress often overlap. That observation prompted a career shift into mental health counseling where she now combines that perspective with clinical work.
Stephanye works with adults and also lists teens and couples among the people she has seen. She describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, trauma, addictions, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions. She also notes attention to concerns like abandonment, blended-family stress, body image, caregiver strain, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and separation or divorce.
In sessions she aims for a collaborative tone and focuses on practical coping skills. Techniques she draws on include cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused methods, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches. These are used to build resilience and set concrete goals.
Stephanye works in English from North Carolina and holds the NC LCMHC credential. People who want to begin can use the site matching process to schedule an initial session.
How Stephanye applies evidence-based techniques online
Stephanye lists the use of cognitive-behavioral strategies, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and managing daily stressors.She also uses solution-focused methods that aim to clarify goals and build small, practical steps toward change. This approach tends to concentrate on strengths and concrete actions that move a person toward what they want to achieve.
Mindfulness and trauma-informed approaches are included as well. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and bodily signals without immediate reaction, which can reduce overwhelm. Trauma-informed care emphasizes safety and pacing when past events affect current behavior and relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stephanye collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so the method fits the client's needs.
