About Stephanie

Stephanie Crume is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship strain. She also supports people facing codependency, parenting pressures, work stress, and LGBTQ+ related issues.

She centers sessions on the person's own knowledge of their life. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She listens for strengths and practical changes rather than relying on jargon. The tone is straightforward and encouraging to make reaching out feel less overwhelming.

In therapy Stephanie uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people notice unhelpful patterns. She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. These methods are used to address problems like anxiety, depression, addictions, and difficulties with intimacy.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted as life changes. Stephanie emphasizes small, manageable experiments that build confidence over time. She aims to help people develop better coping skills and clearer communication.

Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, ADHD, chronic illness stress, and career pressures. The focus is practical help for daily life and clearer ways to handle recurring patterns that cause pain.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems where avoidance keeps people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and building practical coping tools.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about what matters most, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-informed ideas, or a mix makes the most sense for the issues at hand.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also let people schedule shorter check-ins when they need them or pick times that work around work and family responsibilities. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and what will work best for your routine.
