About Stephanie

Licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in West Virginia with 10 years of experience, Stephanie Fagan focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression. She meets people where they are and helps them find practical ways to manage symptoms and daily challenges.

Stephanie frames sessions as straightforward conversations. She listens to what is most pressing, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions typically involve talking through recent problems, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing small changes that can help day to day.

Her clinical work includes attention to related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, chronic pain, communication problems, domestic violence, fatherhood issues, fertility concerns, first responder stress, and isolation or loneliness. She also supports people coping with mood disorders, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, intellectual disability, and challenges around pregnancy and childbirth.

Stephanie aims to keep the process practical. She will help a person break complex issues into manageable steps and try approaches that can be used between sessions. The role of sessions is problem-solving and skill building, not quick fixes.

She practices in West Virginia and conducts work in English. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location.

How therapeutic methods shape online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques generally involve focused talking, behavior changes, and practical exercises. One common approach uses structured conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then replaces them with clearer, more workable responses. This helps with anxiety, mood problems, and stress-related issues.

Another frequently used technique emphasizes practicing small behavioral steps between sessions. These exercises can address parenting challenges, communication problems, or symptoms of trauma by building new routines and coping skills over time.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and help choose approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and may be adjusted as therapy proceeds.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful.
