Stephanie Hauser, LCPC

Stephanie Hauser is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Idaho who emphasizes practical, skills-based work rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and work or career transitions.

Her approach blends straightforward problem solving with compassionate listening. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. She draws on client-centered and narrative ideas to help people tell new stories about themselves and their relationships.

Over 14 years of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues around identity including LGBT matters. Her additional focus areas include attachment and blended family issues, body image, communication problems, and coping after separation or infidelity.

In sessions she aims to make change feel manageable. People can expect clear goals, practical tools, and steady support to try new ways of coping. Therapy is paced to each person’s needs so progress can build without extra pressure.

Stephanie offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, interested people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their availability.

How CBT and Narrative Work Online

Stephanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical skills that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve coping for stress and ADHD symptoms.

She also uses client-centered and narrative methods to listen closely and help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. These approaches support work on identity, grief, relationship patterns, and self-esteem by making space to reflect and try new perspectives.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That might mean leaning into CBT skills for immediate symptom relief or using narrative work to address deeper life stories; decisions are made together and adjusted over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or use therapy in a way that fits a busy schedule. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for varied needs and routines.
