About Stephanie
Stephanie Cooley is a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience. She practices in Mississippi and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, and other life challenges. Stephanie focuses on practical, goal-oriented work and meets clients where they are in the process.
Her approach is straightforward and adaptable. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot patterns that keep problems going and to build different responses.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people stay present and lessen reactivity. Solution-focused work helps set short-term goals and track progress. Stephanie believes therapy should be respectful and tailored to each person.
Sessions are shaped around an individual's needs, pace, and priorities. She emphasizes clear steps and small, achievable changes rather than vague talk. People often come with questions about relationships, parenting, eating concerns, grief, ADHD, or self-esteem.
Stephanie works with these topics by breaking them into manageable pieces and practicing new skills in session. She also addresses trauma-related concerns with appropriate methods and attention. Her style is calm and encouraging.
She supports clients through difficult transitions and helps them develop coping tools for everyday life. For those seeking help with anger or coping skills, she focuses on practical strategies to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Approaches for online work and practical skill building
Stephanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or depression and then practice different responses to those patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing techniques that reduce reactivity and help people stay present during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful, then try strategies and adjust as needed. This collaborative decision making helps match techniques to the person’s daily life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or people who process better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family obligations while keeping the focus on practical skill building.
