About Stephanie

Stephanie Harris is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with ten years of experience who brings a warm, client-centered approach to therapy. Originally from Vermont and now based in Chicago, she focuses on helping adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. As an LCPC she is trained to provide psychotherapy and supports people in identifying strengths, building confidence, and pursuing a more meaningful, fulfilling life.

Stephanie combines conversational, person-centered work with specialized trauma recovery techniques. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic method intended to help clients reprocess distressing memories and develop healthier perspectives on past experiences. Her trauma-informed orientation recognizes how painful events can shape relationships and daily functioning, and she works to help people feel safer and more grounded in the present.

Her clinical background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University. She has practiced in a range of settings - from private practice and crisis centers to in-patient hospitals, employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, and primary care clinics - and has experience supporting diverse populations, including survivors of sexual abuse, people of the Latinx community, couples facing infertility, individuals with developmental disabilities, and those confronting deportation-related stressors. Stephanie aims to collaborate with clients to set goals and discover practical pathways toward greater well-being.

Client-Centered and EMDR-Informed Online Therapy

Stephanie practices primarily from a client-centered perspective, which emphasizes respect for each person's experience and the belief that clients hold the capacity to find their own solutions. In this approach the therapist offers empathy, active listening, and collaborative exploration to help clients clarify values, strengthen resilience, and make changes that matter to them. She also integrates EMDR for trauma recovery - a structured method that supports people in processing distressing memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact, often helpful for those coping with abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to evaluate which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients participate in deciding the direction of care and in setting goals that feel meaningful to them.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent support. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can schedule sessions that fit their routines, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage with licensed professionals from locations that suit them. These options help make regular care more manageable and responsive to everyday demands.
