01About Stephanie
Stephanie MacMurtrie is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and career struggles. She also supports people coping with family conflict, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, intimacy issues, and life changes. She works in English and draws on several evidence-informed methods to shape conversations and goals.
Stephanie keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She focuses on listening first, then collaborates on goals that feel realistic.
Background and approach
She adapts her approach to match each person's needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Her work uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are woven in when they suit the issue at hand. Expect conversations that aim to be practical and solution-focused. That can mean setting small, measurable steps between sessions.
It can also mean learning short tools to manage anxiety or to improve communication in relationships. Stephanie has seven years of clinical experience as an LPC. She invites people to take the first step at their own pace and will help you map out a plan that aligns with your priorities.

04Online support
How her methods translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and building a plan from there. In online sessions this means time is spent listening to your concerns and clarifying goals so work feels relevant and doable. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behavior patterns that keep problems going and replaces them with small experiments and practical skills to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods as needed. Together you decide which tools fit your situation and daily routine.
Online formats make attending sessions more flexible. Video calls let you have a full conversation and use visual tools. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or a written way to work through ideas when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or days with unpredictable timing.
