About Stephanie
Stephanie Bigham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, mood disorders, and career-related issues. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, ADHD, and LGBTQ topics.
Stephanie draws on practical, evidence-informed methods that encourage awareness and action. She emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment. That often means tracking unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different responses between sessions.
Sessions include structured skill work and psychoeducation. Clients are likely to receive short exercises or “homework” to try in their daily life. Stephanie describes therapy as collaborative and expects active participation from the person in treatment.
Her background includes work in community mental health, hospitals including NICU settings, respite programs, classrooms, and private practice. She has also been a stay-at-home parent and a substitute teacher for elementary grades, which informs her practical view of family and parenting challenges.
Stephanie uses mindfulness and acceptance-based cognitive behavioral techniques along with narrative and dialectical approaches when helpful. She aims to help people become more self-aware and resilient, and to develop concrete coping strategies for stressful life events.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Stephanie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on noticing values and taking action toward them despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when people feel stuck by anxiety, grief, or major life changes. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses short experiments and exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger.She sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try practical exercises, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and to test small changes between sessions to see what fits their life and needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family time. They also let people use written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, or brief check-ins without needing extra travel time. The focus is on making therapeutic tools usable in everyday life while choosing approaches that match the client’s goals.
