About Stephanie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of counseling experience, Stephanie Upchurch focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people affected by autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, intellectual disability, life purpose, self-love, and women's issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Stephanie helps people talk through immediate problems and look for practical ways to manage daily life.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving in sessions. She asks specific questions about what is causing stress and which coping strategies have been tried. From there she and the person shape simple goals and steps to try between meetings. The focus is on skills people can use right away to reduce overwhelm and improve functioning.
Her background includes seven years of professional counseling work in clinical settings and private practice. She holds the LPC credential and is licensed in Oklahoma. That experience includes supporting people with neurodivergent traits and those juggling caregiving responsibilities while managing work and family demands.
In sessions she pays attention to communication patterns and control issues that keep problems going. She helps people experiment with new ways of speaking and acting, then reviews what worked. This practical cycle - try it, review it, adjust it - shapes most of her work.
Stephanie encourages clear, manageable steps rather than long explanations. Parents and professionals often consult her for concise strategies to handle behavior, reduce anxiety, or set boundaries. To begin she asks about immediate needs and recent attempts at change, then builds a plan that fits daily life.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete strategies people can use right away. One common approach is behavioral activation, which breaks tasks into small, manageable actions to reduce avoidance and lift mood. This method helps with anxiety, low motivation, and overwhelmed parents who need steps they can try between sessions.Another frequently used technique is skills-based problem solving. That involves identifying a specific problem, brainstorming practical options, choosing one step to test, and then reviewing the result. It is useful for communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress because it creates a clear feedback loop for change.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about which techniques fit the person’s concerns, goals, and daily schedule. They will adapt methods based on what works and what does not, and clients are invited to give feedback throughout the process.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people try therapy without rearranging their whole day.
