About Stephanie
Stephanie Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, motivation struggles, and self-esteem problems. She also lists guilt and shame, self-harm, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and young adult issues among her focus areas.
Stephanie views each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths in a person’s story and uses those strengths as a starting point for change. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on what the client wants to do differently and small steps toward those changes.
In sessions she helps people name and track difficult thoughts and feelings. She offers ways to manage overwhelming stress and to respond differently to shame and guilt. For grief and loss she helps with coping strategies and finding ways to keep going day to day.
When parenting or motivation are the concern, she breaks problems into specific behaviors and patterns to work on. For social anxiety and low self-esteem she helps people practice new responses and notice small successes. With trauma or abuse, she supports learning safety and stability before moving forward.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps people set clear goals and checks in about what is or is not working. To start, she asks questions about current struggles and what the client hopes to change before planning sessions together.
How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients learn how thoughts fuel guilt and shame and practice alternative responses that reduce distress.Another approach teaches step-by-step coping skills for overwhelming feelings. This includes short exercises to calm the body and skills for tolerating strong emotions, which can help after trauma, loss, or during panic and social anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, checking in regularly to adjust the plan. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let someone choose sessions that match how they communicate best, such as speaking without video or using a regular weekday break.
