01About Stephanie
Stephanie Birnbaum is a licensed LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in Ohio with 36 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on helping people get unstuck and regain control of daily life.
Her sessions blend structured skill-building with thoughtful conversation. She uses tools to identify unhelpful patterns, improve emotional regulation, and create healthier boundaries.
Background and approach
Clients are offered clear suggestions and concrete steps to try between meetings. Stephanie also integrates faith when requested, bringing Biblical perspectives alongside evidence-based techniques. That option is offered only when a client explicitly asks for faith-sensitive care.
The goal is to align therapeutic work with each person’s values and beliefs. Over three decades of practice have shaped a steady, problem-solving style. She helps people develop skills for coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, career shifts, grief, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports those facing intimacy issues, body image concerns, and challenges linked to aging and neurodiversity. Sessions may include short-term coaching goals or longer-term work depending on what a person needs. The emphasis is on building sustainable habits, clearer thinking, and stronger self-leadership so everyday decisions feel more manageable.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Stephanie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation skills, distress tolerance, and methods for improving communication when emotions feel overwhelming.She may also use Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on small, achievable goals and steps that move a person forward quickly. Each approach is described in plain terms and chosen to match the problem at hand rather than being applied the same way to everyone. The therapist will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences, adjusting plans over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options let therapy fit busy schedules, work breaks, or different comfort levels with face-to-face contact.
