Stephanye Clagett

Stephanye Clagett, LCMHC, transitioned into counseling after more than a decade as a chiropractor. She noticed many people with chronic pain also carried anxiety, trauma, or ongoing stress. That observation led her to focus on mental health and help others address the emotional side of their difficulties.

She supports adults and teens with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She also assists people facing life transitions and challenges with self-esteem, addictions, and ADHD. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help clients develop practical coping skills.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to break problems into workable steps. That can include looking at thoughts that make stress worse, short-term goal-setting, and mindfulness practices to calm the body. The work is tailored to what each person needs and wants to achieve.

Stephanye has four years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. She blends her background in physical health with counseling to address how emotions and the body interact. People often start by naming one or two clear goals and building skills from there.

If a reader is unsure where to begin, she recommends a brief matching questionnaire to help find the right fit and then scheduling a first session. Therapy focuses on practical changes - learning new responses to stress, improving communication, and building routines that support better mood and functioning.

Therapeutic tools and how they translate online

Stephanye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small changes that reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that help people notice and respond to stress with less reactivity.

She also uses solution-focused strategies that help set clear, achievable goals and track small wins over time. These techniques work well for life transitions, coping with loss, and improving day-to-day routines. Each method is presented in straightforward steps so clients can try them between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaboration. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then test techniques to see what fits best. Adjustments are common as therapy progresses to keep work aligned with what the person finds most helpful.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their usual routines, which helps generalize progress into everyday life.
