About Stephanie
Dr. Stephanie Ferguson is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with six years of post-qualification experience. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and life changes. She also works with issues such as grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, and blended family issues.
Before entering clinical practice Stephanie spent three decades in education. That background shapes how she notices strengths and practical skills in others. She moved into mental health after earning a Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree and now provides services in a rural New Mexico setting.
Her style is straightforward and adaptive. She listens to what a person brings, then uses tools from several approaches to build a plan together. Conversations focus on realistic steps, skill-building, and making daily routines more manageable.
Stephanie draws on evidence-based methods to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and values-guided action. Sessions can include work on communication difficulties, attachment concerns, body image, codependency, and coping strategies for stress or first responder strain.
She frames therapy as collaborative clinical work rather than advice. People who are looking to sort priorities, rebuild confidence, or navigate complex household changes often find this practical focus useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It is often used when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and want to build a direction-focused plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or eating.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. It can help when emotions feel intense or relationship conflicts keep recurring.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as needed over time.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. Because the therapist's exact session formats are not specified here, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or parenting, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions fit into busy days.
