About Stephanie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with seven years of experience. Stephanie MacMurtrie helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, parenting strain, career difficulties, and trauma and abuse.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversation and practical methods. She draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way now and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her approach begins with listening. She clarifies the problem, the client's priorities, and what has or has not helped before. From there she and the client set simple goals and test steps that fit the person's routine and responsibilities.
Stephanie adapts the pace to the person in front of her. Some weeks focus on skills practice like managing anxiety or steadying mood. Other weeks map relationship patterns or work on motivation and decision points for career or parenting concerns.
She explains tools in plain language and checks in about how they feel to use. Progress is tracked in small, practical ways rather than broad promises. Clients who want clear strategies, direct conversation, and a focus on manageable change often find this method useful.

How her approaches translate to remote work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions start by clarifying what matters most to the client and shaping goals from there. It helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and making decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotional reactions by practicing specific skills between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Those techniques can be used alongside CBT to support mood and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and what feels workable. Plans are adjusted over time depending on what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online formats are offered. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use skills in real-life settings more quickly.
