About Stephanie

Stephanie Trahant is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings a warm, practical, and faith-sensitive approach to work with adults and families. With a master’s degree from Colorado Christian University earned in 1998 and more than a decade of focused practice, she blends clinical training with life experience to support clients facing relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, career transitions, and other life changes. She describes her role as part therapist, part life coach, and part spiritual guide, and she often integrates humor and hope to balance difficult emotions.

Stephanie values clear, actionable work and is proactive about offering homework when it will support progress. She is especially honored to accompany people on grief journeys and to assist those who want to articulate feelings they find hard to name. As a writer, she is a strong fit for online chat therapy and enjoys helping clients find words for what is happening in their hearts.

Known for helping people find common ground in complicated family and relationship situations, Stephanie draws on an eclectic mix of methods tailored to each person’s goals. She began working in counseling after graduate school and adjusted to part-time practice while raising her two daughters. Stephanie remains open to any approach that moves clients closer to their treatment goals and looks forward to collaborating with people ready for change.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping skills useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and values, helping people facing life transitions, grief, or a search for purpose to clarify what matters most and to live with greater authenticity. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-informed approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity when trauma or abuse is part of the history.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from these approaches to create a treatment plan that fits the individual rather than applying a single method to every case.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet clients where they are through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
