About Stephanie

Stephanie Trahant is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She emphasizes practical steps and often gives short exercises or 'homework' for clients who want it. Stephanie blends practical talk with warmth and a light touch of humor to make difficult topics easier to approach.

She sees grief work as an important calling and will sit with someone through loss while offering small, actionable ways to cope.

Background and approach

Stephanie also supports people dealing with family and blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, and control issues. Her approach is informed by a range of methods, so she adapts to what each person needs. Stephanie trained at Colorado Christian University and has worked in counseling since 1998, with about 12 years of focused clinical practice.

She holds Licensed Professional Counselor credentials in Colorado and Virginia, listed as CO LPC and VA LPC. That experience influences how she balances direction and listening. She often uses writing and online chat as a way to help people find words for hard feelings, drawing on her background as a writer.

Sessions are conversational and aim to help a person notice patterns, practice new responses, and try manageable steps between meetings. Clients who value a blend of practical skills, spiritual reflection when requested, and a gentle, down-to-earth style may find her approach helpful.

Stephanie describes herself as part therapist, part life coach, and at times like a spiritual director for those who request that focus.

Online support

How her approaches work online

Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and purpose. It helps people who feel stuck, aimless, or overwhelmed by life transitions to name their values and make clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers simple experiments and exercises to change those patterns and reduce anxiety or depression.

Stephanie also uses EMDR in appropriate cases to address memories tied to trauma; EMDR involves guided attention while clients recall distressing moments to reduce their emotional intensity. She typically explains each option in plain language and discusses what a given approach would look like in online sessions.

Finding the right method is a team effort. She will listen to your goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps you make progress. That collaborative process means trying small steps first and changing course when needed.

Online therapy lets people fit counseling into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for writing out thoughts, short check-ins, or when a brief update fits into a lunch break. These options make ongoing support more flexible and easier to keep up with.
