About Stephanie
Stephanie Speller-Henderson greets people with a direct, practical style. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family concerns, and trauma. Her approach is grounded in a belief that the relationship between client and counselor matters most.
She draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience across hospitals, community centers, schools, churches, group settings, and independent practice.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a Master of Theology in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Hood Theological Seminary. She also facilitates a marriage enrichment program used in premarital and couples work.
In sessions she uses a mix of practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative and psychodynamic ideas. That means clients talk about how they think about problems, tell their story differently, and look at early patterns that still affect relationships. Techniques may include behavior practice, cognitive reframing, role work, and task assignments to try between meetings.
She also attends to caregiving stress, attachment concerns, workplace strain, grief and hospice-related issues, and HIV/AIDS education. When substance concerns or family-of-origin issues appear, she uses relapse prevention work and skill-building exercises tailored to the situation. Clients are encouraged to take an active part in setting goals and tracking progress.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on concrete steps people can use every day to manage symptoms and improve relationships.

Online support
Approach and Access for Online Care
Stephanie uses client-centered therapy that focuses on the person and their goals, offering listening and reflection to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also a central method she uses; it looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Narrative therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can be useful for trauma, grief, and identity-related concerns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit those priorities. Sessions often blend methods so therapy stays focused and useful for everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone meetings can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or try shorter reflections between appointments. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and daily routines, making it easier to keep therapy consistent without extensive travel.
