About Stephanie
Stephanie Birmingham is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and anger. She uses clear, practical steps and a calm approach to help clients feel more in control. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people take small, steady steps toward change.
She draws on five years of clinical experience and focuses on what comes up in daily life. Sessions often start with what feels most urgent - a recent argument, rising anger, or trouble sleeping from worry.
Background and approach
From there she and the client work together to identify patterns and try new ways to respond. Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and practice different behaviors between sessions.
She keeps explanations straightforward and offers concrete skills to use right away. Her background includes work that involved people in the justice system, which shaped her practical view of behavior change. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction, chronic health challenges, and identity-related stressors such as gender dysphoria or prejudice.
Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where the therapist and client set goals together. The focus is on real-world tools that fit each person’s life and values. Stephanie works in English and practices in Wisconsin as an LPC.

Approaches Stephanie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How CBT and remote sessions can help manage anger
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a main approach. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts that fuel strong emotions and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking. This work can reduce angry reactions by teaching practical coping steps and new behavior patterns that are practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and tailor CBT techniques to match what you want to change. Together you will try ideas, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so it fits your life and values.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support short check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between fuller sessions. These formats make it easier to use therapy in the moments you need it and to keep practicing new skills in daily life.
