About Stephanie
Stephanie Trahant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and coping with major transitions.
She uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. That can include talking through what feels stuck, setting small goals, and offering simple exercises to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Stephanie often gives homework when it will help a person make steady progress. Stephanie brings 12 years of counseling experience and a background that blends counseling, coaching, and spiritual direction. She earned a master’s degree from Colorado Christian University and has balanced clinical work with raising her two daughters.
She often supports people by helping them name their experience in writing, which fits well with online chat and messaging formats. Stephanie values hope and lightness alongside honest sorrow, and she makes space for both laughter and tears in the work. Her approach is flexible and practical.
She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when those methods fit a person’s goals. Sessions aim to help people move toward change at a pace they can manage.

Online support
Approaches to change in online therapy
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside existential ideas to address difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works by processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them, which can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility, and life choices to help people facing big transitions or questions about purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie treats it as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods best match a person’s goals, pace, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and each has practical benefits. Video lets people read facial cues and do deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit people who want to write through their thoughts or check in between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
