Stephanie Douple , LPC

Stephanie Douple, LPC, helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Stephanie brings her own lived experience with recovery to sessions and aims to create an honest, down-to-earth space for change.

Stephanie studied advertising and broadcasting before a career in performing arts and fashion led her around the country. After facing her own substance misuse and mental health challenges, she returned to school to pursue counseling. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas.

Her style is person-centered. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them build skills that fit their life. Stephanie integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep people stuck and to process painful memories when needed.

Common focuses in her work include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and self-worth, codependency and commitment issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and the overlap of multiple diagnoses. She also offers help for people on the autism spectrum and for those dealing with disruptive mood symptoms.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Stephanie helps people identify small, manageable changes and practices to try between meetings. She values honesty, personal accountability, and occasionally a bit of silliness to lighten difficult work.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful beliefs and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This helps when worry or self-criticism keeps someone from moving forward.

Another approach centers on understanding parts of the self and how they relate to each other. It helps people recognize internal patterns like protectors and caregivers and learn to calm extreme reactions. That can make it easier to manage attachment concerns and codependency patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face when possible; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel simpler for some. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework discussion, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
