Stephanie Hegle, LPC

Stephanie Hegle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who approaches therapy with practical tools and steady support. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods to help people untangle distressing thoughts and make small changes that add up. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at everyday problems like stress, anxiety, and trouble sleeping.

Stephanie has about ten years of counseling experience. She draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people set goals and take manageable steps toward them. Sessions often focus on clear strategies for coping with grief, anger, compassion fatigue, or changes such as divorce and career shifts.

Many referrals come for work related to trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, and relationship or family problems. Stephanie helps clients who are navigating money worries, midlife questions, or the emotional sides of pregnancy and childbirth.

Her approach is straightforward and paced to each person's needs. In a typical session she listens, helps name patterns, and practices new skills together - like reframing thoughts, building boundaries, or planning next steps. The goal is to leave with one or two concrete actions to try between sessions.

Stephanie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process where people choose a start time that works for them.

How CBT and Client-Centered Care Translate Online

Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleeping problems; it often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's own goals and pacing, offering empathy and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Stephanie will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs and goals, and she adjusts tactics as progress unfolds. That teamwork helps shape session focus, whether the priority is coping with trauma, managing anger, or planning career or life changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work for quick check-ins or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different ways of connecting until the best match is found.
