About Stephanie
Stephanie Crume is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ+ issues, and family concerns. She also addresses grief, relationships, parenting strain, and sleep problems.
Stephanie treats patterns that began in the family of origin and that keep showing up now. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people notice repeated roles, expectations, and communication habits that affect daily life.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports learning which values to act on despite hard feelings.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness and boundary patterns that came from early family relationships. Dialectical behavior strategies offer concrete skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Existential themes come into play when people wrestle with meaning, choices, and responsibility.
Stephanie draws on 13 years of practice to help people sort immediate problems from long-standing patterns. Conversations focus on real-life strategies - better communication, clearer personal boundaries, and everyday coping tools. People are invited to try small changes and notice whether those changes alter family roles and personal wellbeing.
How Stephanie uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps that align with those values even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early family relationships shape current interaction patterns. Online conversations can look at those patterns and practice different ways of asking for closeness or setting boundaries. The therapist will work with clients to decide which approach or combination fits best, based on the person's goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow quieter check-ins during a work break, or make it easier to keep appointments when travel is difficult. Sessions can focus on skill practice, role-play for family conversations, or short coaching-style check-ins depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
