Stephanye Clagett, LCMHC

Stephanye Clagett is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She moved into counseling after more than a decade working as a chiropractor, where she noticed how often chronic pain and emotional distress happened together. That connection led her to focus on mental health and help people address the thoughts and everyday habits that keep them stuck.

She helps adults, teens, and couples with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. Sessions concentrate on finding the root of a problem, learning practical coping skills, and building everyday habits that support change. Stephanye describes her style as warm and collaborative, and she adapts her methods to each person's needs.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care. These approaches are used to reduce overwhelming feelings, manage panic or mood changes, and improve communication in close relationships.

Stephanye has four years of counseling experience and brings a practical, problem-solving focus to sessions. She often links emotional patterns to physical symptoms, a perspective informed by her chiropractic background. People who want clear strategies and steady support may find her approach helpful.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions are conducted in English and provided from North Carolina by an LCMHC.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Stephanye incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going and teaches skills to change those patterns. Mindfulness practices help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them, which can reduce anxiety and impulsive reactions.

She also uses solution-focused methods that zero in on concrete steps a person can take now. These are brief, goal-oriented ideas that help people test small changes and track progress. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client work together to try methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between life events and building consistent habits without rearranging their day.
