About Stephanie
Stephanie Tran is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Her practice also covers related concerns such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, mood disorders, and substance-related difficulties.
Stephanie focuses on helping clients name what feels overwhelming and take practical next steps. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them practice new ways of responding to hard feelings. Sessions emphasize helping people advocate for themselves and take responsibility in ways they choose.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lubbock Christian University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from West Virginia University. Those studies inform a clinical approach rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping sessions straightforward and task-focused.
In sessions she uses clear, direct work to address grief, trauma, and substance concerns alongside anger and depressive symptoms. Stephanie commonly helps people untangle guilt and shame tied to relationships, faith, or past actions. She also supports those dealing with the long-term effects of stressors such as disasters or first responder work.
People who schedule with her complete a short matching questionnaire before the first meeting and then set a session time. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address grief, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. For example, cognitive-behavioral strategies help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep guilt or shame active. These techniques are useful for mood symptoms, self-critical thoughts, and behaviors linked to substance use.She also draws on methods that focus on processing distressing experiences and memories. These approaches help people work through painful events and the emotional responses that follow, such as anger, grief, or persistent shame. Such work often involves gradual exposure to painful memories alongside skills to manage intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time - practical benefits that many people find useful when managing grief, addiction recovery, or ongoing feelings of guilt and shame.
