Stephanie Smith-Daniel, LPC

Stephanie Smith-Daniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, and struggles with self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and grounded in everyday problem solving.

Stephanie has seven years of experience in the mental health field. She helps people who feel stuck by breaking concerns into small, manageable steps. Typical issues she addresses include anxiety, compassion fatigue, and low self-confidence.

Her work also covers relationship communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and loneliness. She supports people working through forgiveness and building self-love. Social anxiety and phobias are part of her practice focus as well.

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her match tools to what a person needs in daily life. Sessions emphasize clear strategies, short-term goals, and habits that can change how someone feels.

Stephanie aims to create a calm, practical space where clients can try new ways of thinking and acting. She encourages steady progress through simple exercises and regular check-ins. Her work is aimed at helping people move forward with more confidence and less worry.

Combining CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness Online

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve confidence. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and focus on values-driven action. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to calm the mind and increase awareness in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then blend methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process makes it easier to test strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls work well for a full session and face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text let someone check in between sessions, handle brief updates, or fit short check-ins into a busy day. These options help people access consistent support without changing their schedule drastically.
