Stephanie Knauer, LPC

Stephanie Knauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are juggling parenting, relationship strain, mood concerns, addiction, and the everyday pressure of life changes. She also works with issues such as anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, and challenges around intimacy and body image.

Stephanie uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. She often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas help when people want to understand repeating relationship patterns.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete tools to try between sessions. Stephanie has worked in inpatient behavioral health and substance abuse treatment, so she is familiar with crisis-oriented settings and addiction care. That background informs how she plans steps and safety in therapy.

Her training began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Shippensburg University, completed in 2018. She later completed the LPC credential in Pennsylvania and has built a range of experience across settings since then.

Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing coping skills, and checking what changes in day-to-day life. Stephanie also supports people facing caregiver stress, first responder issues, chronic illness, and career or work-related strain. People who speak English can work with her; international clients are not accepted.
