Stephanie Horner, LPCC

Stephanie Horner is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a long career spanning both healthcare and mental health. She spent the first decade of her professional life in nursing, including work as a high-risk labor and delivery nurse, and then moved into school health administration and program development for at-risk youth. For the past 25 years she has practiced as a counselor and therapist, offering services to children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and special needs as well as support for their parents. She now focuses primarily on an adult population.

That varied background gives her a broad perspective on the kinds of stressors and complex situations people face. She has extensive experience helping individuals manage change and adjustment, build self-esteem, and address anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach blends compassion with structure - she is described as kind, gentle, empathic, positive, and a good listener, while also being serious, thoughtful, wholistic, client-centered, and solution-focused.

Her objective as a therapist is practical and collaborative. She guides clients through identifying the relevant issues (problems), clarifying their wants and needs, and learning skills and techniques to create sustainable solutions that support not only immediate relief but long-term well-being. Ultimately, she aims to empower people as they navigate life transitions, challenges, and growth.
