About Stephanie
Stephanie Crume is an Oklahoma licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, family conflict, and relationship concerns among other issues. Stephanie also lists parenting, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar in her practice focus.
She approaches therapy believing each person knows their story and strengths. Sessions are conversational and practical. Stephanie helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life easier.
Her methods draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current interactions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and existential therapy ideas may appear when emotion regulation or meaning questions are central.
Clients can expect straightforward work on specific problems such as communication issues, parenting strain, stress management, and coping with life transitions. Stephanie can help people who are handling caregiver stress, chronic illness, or complicated family dynamics like blended family concerns and adoption-related questions.
Practical goals and small experiments are common in her sessions. She helps clients plan steps they can use between meetings. Stephanie aims to collaborate on what will fit each person's life and responsibilities.
How sessions work
How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that began early in life and how they affect current interactions; it is useful when relationship dynamics or intimacy issues are a core concern.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that best match those needs. The approach can be adjusted as progress or priorities change, and decisions about techniques are made together.
