Stephanie Brewer, LPC

Stephanie Brewer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She focuses on building practical skills for everyday life while treating people with respect and compassion. Stephanie aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and encouraging.

Her sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, reachable goals. Conversations cover coping strategies, motivation, and ways to improve self-esteem and confidence.

Stephanie uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered work to help people change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and trauma-focused ideas when past harm affects daily life.

Over a decade of practice in Alabama has included supporting people through relationship strain, family problems, career transitions, and caregiver stress. She also has experience with first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and HIV/AIDS related counseling.

Sessions are offered in English and available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Stephanie works with each person to create a plan that fits their schedule and goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How Stephanie’s approaches work in online therapy

Stephanie often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping after loss.

She also uses client-centered methods during sessions, which means the conversation is led by the person's own concerns and goals. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting working relationship that supports change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful, combine methods when needed, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer written check-ins or flexible, brief contacts throughout the week. These options offer scheduling flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines.
