Hi! So glad you are here. My name is Stephanie Bennett and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing telehealth services throughout Pennsylvania. I understand that reaching out for support takes courage, and I commend you for taking this important step. Life's challenges can often leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who we are or desire to be. With 10 years of experience, I am passionate about supporting clients through anxiety, depression, self-esteem building, improving emotional regulation skills, stress management, and navigating peer/relational issues.
Your first visit allows us to connect, understand your needs, and develop a clear direction for our work together, ensuring our therapy sessions are purposeful and meaningful. Throughout our time together, my priority is ensuring you feel truly heard and understood. While I'll always respect your pace and comfort level, I'll also gently challenge and encourage your growth when the time is right to help with progress towards your goals.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my deep understanding of the emotional struggles we all face. With genuine empathy and professional insight, I’m here to support you through your tough moments and healing. Together, we’ll work towards finding emotional wellness, inner peace, and getting back to living the fulfilling life you truly deserve.
I truly believe that getting to know ourselves better is a powerful way to create positive change in our lives. Together, we’ll dive into your experiences and see how they might be influencing what you’re facing now—whether that’s anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. When we understand why we feel or react the way we do, we can make choices that align more closely with the life we want to create. I’m here to support you in making those connections in a gentle and non-judgmental way. We’ll work on recognizing patterns that might be holding you back while also building on your strengths. My goal isn’t just to help you feel better, but to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself that leads to lasting change. As you gain these insights, you’ll be in a better position to make choices that truly reflect your values and desires, guiding you toward the life you envision. Whether you’re dealing with overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in old habits, we’ll work together to turn those insights into real, lasting change.
I integrate a variety of treatment modalities to help each client feel heard and understood in a way that feels natural and authentic to them. Some of my most common modalities are CBT, DBT, ACT, Attachment Theory, Coherence Therapy, and Relational Therapy.
I use attachment therapy to help connect how our early life experiences influenced how we connected to others, which unconsciously and consciously influenced how we view ourselves, the world, and trust/connect with others and how all of this relates to current symptom(s).
I practice Coherence Therapy, which uses memory reconsolidation to help 'update' the brain's old emotional learnings to how things are for us currently, which helps with symptom reduction.
