About Stephanye
Stephanye Clagett is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She shifted into counseling after more than a decade working as a chiropractor, noticing how chronic pain often linked with trauma, anxiety, and emotional strain. That observation led her to focus on mental health and help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.
She works with adults, teens, and couples who are dealing with panic, grief, life changes, low self-esteem, and trauma. Sessions are collaborative and warm, shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Stephanye uses practical, evidence-based techniques to build skills and increase resilience.
Her background in body-focused healthcare informs an awareness of how physical symptoms and emotions connect. That perspective helps when people bring worries about chronic pain, caregiver strain, or burnout alongside mood or relationship concerns. Stephanye emphasizes understanding root causes and learning tools to manage symptoms day to day.
Typical work in sessions includes teaching coping skills, practicing mindful strategies, and setting small, achievable goals. She also addresses communication patterns, codependency, and issues like addiction or trauma in straightforward ways. The aim is steady, sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.
Stephanye has four years of counseling experience as an LCMHC in North Carolina. She speaks English. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist’s availability.
Practical approaches and how they work online
Stephanye uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it’s useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Solution-Focused techniques concentrate on current strengths and small steps that move a person toward their goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then tailor techniques to fit each person. This collaborative process helps make sure the plan feels workable and relevant to daily life.

It also makes it simpler to check in between appointments when needed and to practice skills in real-life settings. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and plans so clients can use what they learn between sessions and build lasting coping skills.
