About Stephanie
Stephanie Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career questions, and major life changes. Stephanie focuses on practical ways to move forward when routine stops making sense.
She draws on several evidence-based techniques in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavioral experiments. Motivational Interviewing (MI) supports people who feel stuck or uncertain about change. Person-Centered Therapy gives space for the client to lead conversations and set the pace.
Sessions aim to address specific problems such as abandonment or attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress. She also works with people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence histories, substance concerns, body image, hoarding, guilt and shame, and blended family stress. The focus is on measurable steps rather than abstract promises.
Stephanie trained at the University of Southern Indiana and has worked in community health settings. Her background includes helping people from a range of life situations. She invites clients to talk through what feels most urgent and to practice small changes between sessions.
To begin, she asks clients to set the pace and priorities. Sessions combine structured techniques and open conversation so people can try new ways of coping and decision making. The goal is clearer next steps and more reliable tools for day-to-day life.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Stephanie uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes to test new outcomes. Motivational Interviewing (MI) focuses on resolving ambivalence and building motivation for change, which can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adjust methods over time. Clients are encouraged to provide feedback so techniques match their needs and daily life constraints.
