01About Stephanie
Stephanie Upchurch is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and self-esteem. She draws on seven years of counseling experience across Oklahoma and Oregon. Stephanie aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk and begin to feel more capable.
Her work often addresses caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to career and life purpose. She also supports people navigating autism, Asperger syndrome, and intellectual disability related concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, doable changes that fit each person’s life. Stephanie favors straightforward conversation and active problem solving. She listens for what matters most, then helps organize next steps people can try between sessions.
This can include communication strategies, coping plans for anxiety, or ways to rebuild self-worth after setbacks. Parents and caregivers find practical tools to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines. People facing work stress or career uncertainty work on priorities, boundaries, and plans for change.
Those dealing with control issues or relationship communication get guidance on clearer, calmer interactions. Her approach is collaborative: she partners with each person to set goals and measure progress. Stephanie emphasizes steady, realistic steps instead of quick fixes.
She welcomes conversations about what’s not working and helps craft a plan to move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on problem solving and skill building. One common approach is structured, goal-focused work that breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps; this helps with anxiety, stress, and career decisions by creating clear actions to try between sessions. Another approach centers on communication skills training, which teaches concrete ways to express needs and set boundaries to reduce conflict and improve relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then select or adapt techniques together. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions match what a person hopes to change and how they prefer to work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a deeper real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are handy if bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in shorter bursts or keep a written record of tools and suggestions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
