Stefanie Kincaid, LCMHC

Stefanie Kincaid is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical, day-to-day steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Stefanie emphasizes the person's own strengths and choices as the starting point for change.

Her approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with other methods like Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and track what works. Stefanie also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe their story and set clear goals.

Stefanie works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and parenting strain. She pays attention to attachment, body image, control and commitment issues, and mood-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with fertility, postpartum challenges, and career or life transitions.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Stefanie asks questions, offers simple tools, and helps people build routines that fit daily life. She respects each person's pace and helps break larger problems into small, manageable steps.

People who want straightforward guidance and a focus on skills and goals often find her style helpful. Stefanie encourages self-compassion and steady progress while working toward clearer priorities and better coping.

How Stefanie’s approaches translate to online care

Stefanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation by focusing on clear skills and exercises. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship struggles are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stefanie will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep a steady schedule and apply new skills in day-to-day life.
