Stephanie Hegle

Stephanie Hegle is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people move past hurt and rebuild direction in their lives. She uses down-to-earth conversation and practical steps to help clients manage anxiety, depression, grief, and the long effects of trauma. Stephanie offers a warm, encouraging presence that helps people notice small changes that add up.

Stephanie earned a master’s degree in counseling and holds an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, in Michigan. She brings 10 years of professional experience working with a range of concerns including relationship strain, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, and the aftermath of domestic violence. Her background includes supporting people through life transitions like divorce, midlife shifts, and pregnancy or childbirth stress.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies appear when clients want to set short-term goals and notice progress quickly. Stephanie pays attention to practical coping skills for sleep, anger, and stress.

People meet her for help with self-esteem, career decisions, money worries, and codependency concerns. Narcissism is listed among her focus areas for people coping with difficult relationships. She also supports those juggling caregiver roles and those living with ADHD who want clearer routines.

To begin, she asks a few questions about what matters most and then collaborates on next steps. Her style is straightforward and hopeful, aimed at steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's needs and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist listen closely and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes; it often includes homework and short exercises people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend strategies to try. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change and different tools are introduced.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports tracking progress with brief goal-focused assignments and follow-ups that build momentum between meetings.
