Stephanie Fagan is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in West Virginia with 10 years of practice experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression. She also notes additional focus areas such as blended family issues and communication problems.

Stephanie aims for straightforward sessions where people can name what’s happening and plan small changes. She listens to current challenges and helps break them into manageable steps. Conversations cover practical responses to worry, shifts in relationships, and handling difficult memories.

Her work often includes supporting people through parenting strains and the specific pressures that come with blended households. She talks through co-parenting friction, changing routines, and the stress of new household roles. She also addresses issues tied to mood, isolation, and life events like pregnancy or postpartum depression.

Stephanie has experience with trauma and abuse, and she helps people develop coping strategies for triggers and flashbacks. She uses methods that are evidence based to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. The emphasis is on clear, usable skills rather than long explanations.

Clients can expect a practical, no-frills approach focused on problem solving and emotional regulation. Stephanie encourages people to set realistic goals and to take small steps between sessions. To begin, she asks about current concerns and what the person wants to change next.
