About Stephanye
Stephanye Clagett is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with four years of counseling experience. She shifted into mental health after a decade as a chiropractor, where she noticed how often chronic pain and emotional distress were connected. Stephanye aims to help people understand what’s behind their struggles and develop practical coping skills.
She works with adults, teens, and couples on anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. Stephanye uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-informed care.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. That can include managing panic, handling work or career stress, improving communication, or working through grief and loss. She pays attention to how emotional difficulties and physical symptoms connect, drawing on her prior healthcare background.
Stephanye also addresses concerns like addiction, ADHD, self-esteem, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. She can help people navigate blended family stress, divorce and separation, codependency, and caregiver strain. Her style is warm and practical, with an emphasis on resilience and small, steady change.
People who prefer a direct but empathetic approach may find her helpful. If you want to focus on developing skills and understanding patterns that keep you stuck, Stephanye offers an approach meant to be collaborative and solution-oriented.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Stephanye draws on well-established therapeutic techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety and depression. Trauma-informed care emphasizes understanding how past trauma affects current responses and helps people build safety and coping skills for overwhelming memories or triggers.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the plan over time to find what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is helpful. It can also let people work through career stress, anxiety, or grief from wherever they are located in North Carolina, provided the chosen session format matches the person's needs and schedule.
