About Stephanie
Stephanie LaCount is an experienced California psychotherapist who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and depression. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward, so clients know what to expect each week.
With 25 years of clinical experience, Stephanie draws on several therapeutic ideas to tailor sessions to each person. She often uses client-centered work to build a trusting conversation and solution-focused tools to set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas help people notice and change patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices are introduced in simple ways to help with stress and emotional regulation. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to understand long-running patterns that affect relationships and self-image.
She adapts these approaches based on what a person needs and what is working. Sessions aim to be warm and curious rather than judgmental. Conversations are practical and paced to a person's comfort.
Stephanie also pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns when they matter to the client. People contact her for help with relationship strain, grief, motivation, social anxiety and communication problems. She explains options clearly and works with each person to set realistic steps for change.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy is about listening and shaping the work around what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and guides conversations toward their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase emotional calm.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Stephanie works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they set short-term goals and try techniques, then adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation; phone calls are a good option when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and daily routines, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
