Welcome my name is Stephanie, I am currently licensed by the state of North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I Hold a Masters of Art in Community Counseling from the University of North Carolina - Charlotte., A Maters in Theology in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Hood Theological Seminary in Salisbury, North Carolina, I In addition to this I am a trained facilitator of Life Innovations Prepare and Enrichment Marital Counseling Program.
I have taught on local and National levels about Compassion to persons living with HIV and AIDS, I have provide counseling in various settings to include, Emergency Room, Community Counseling Centers, Schools, Churches and Group and Private Practice. I am skilled in translating theory into practice.
I have 15 yrs experience working as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I provided counseling for adult individuals who are chemically dependent, I have worked with Children ,Adolescents and Adults in Family Treatment Centers providing, Individual, Family and Couples Counseling.
My counseling approach is to enter into a professional therapeutic relationship with (you) the client in which (I) the Professional Counselor assist you in exploring and resolving challenging life issues. I believe that the Professional Therapeutic Relationship between client and therapist is the key variable in facilitating positive changes. The counselors techniques utilized will vary and will be based on the information gathered in the clinical assessment. You will work with your therapist to focus on your needs and develop your treatment goals. It is imperative that you be involved in the goal setting process to enhance your growth. To achieve personal growth it is necessary for you to assume responsibility for your actions, decisions, and behaviors. Therefore complete responsibility for the direction of treatment rests with you (the client). In addition to this the outcome of your counseling depends on your compliance and progress in treatment.
My theoretical orientation involves an integrated approach in which I provide therapy based on the theory and techniques that I believe are appropriated for your individual needs. My clinical practice involves the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This therapy explores how clients think about themselves and the world and promotes clients’ acting on those cognitions through behavior in their daily lives. It involves the use of behavior assessment and modification techniques such as cognitive restructuring, positive reinforcement, modeling, contracting, relaxation training, assertion training, and self- management programs. Other counseling approaches used may include Adlerian therapy. This therapy explores how behavior occurs in a social context, family constellation and birth order, lifestyle and social interest. . In addition to this a career counseling approach may be used, and psycho–education. These approaches may include the use of techniques such as, encouragement, interpretation, immediacy, task assignments, substance abuse education, relapse prevention, catching oneself in old behavior and learning how to modify it, reframing, role playing and the empty chair. Issues that will be addressed by these techniques are early childhood experiences to include interpersonal violence, the impact of addiction on the family system, poor interpersonal skills, depression, recovery, anxiety, grief, anger, fear of abandonment and rejection, stress management and time

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

My therapist is Stephanie Speller-Henderson. She is the best listener. She hears me and helps me think through whatever issue I am dealing with in order for me to move forward toward healing, acceptance and forgiveness.
Stephanie Speller-Henderson has been such a beacon of light for me over the past 3 years I have worked with her.

Amazing listener and very knowledgeable in her craft. I feel like I'm her only patient. I look forward to my weekly sessions
Stephanie is an excellent therapist. Her approach really helps me dig deeper and have a greater understanding of self. She shows compassion and empathy and creates a space that is inviting and easy to share your experiences.
Stephanie is incredible! This was my first time trying therapy and she has made the experience nothing short of wonderful. She really listens to what I have to say and her help so far has changed my life in ways that I didn't even know were possible! I look forward to every session
Stephanie has a helpful, pragmatic approach to therapy.
I’ve never felt so understood and heard by a therapist. Stephanie really hears what I’m saying and she is brilliant and she is able to decipher what I’m feeling and put it into view for me so I can understand what I’m thinking and feeling and make plans to make myself better. She really makes me feel like she has got my absolute best interest in mind and is really helping me understand myself better and be the best version of myself. She is truly amazing and is so incredibly good with her communication and makes everything easy to understand. She has helped me immensely in just the short amount of time we have had together and I am so happy I have the opportunity to work with her and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.
She’s amazing!!
I am very thankful that I matched with Stephanie. Not only does she listen, and provide a safe non-non-judgemental space to express my thoughts, she's also understanding and provides the level of expertise that I needed to process and work through life challenges. I certainly feel that she is knowledgeable, relatable and provides skills and interventions needed to promote positive self-development!
Stephanie is a great therapist for my needs. She continues to challenge my self care and doesn’t let me become stagnate.
Stephanie is such a wonderful counselor! She has helped me move from crisis mode to a clear, stable mind with her calm, honest, loving care and guidance. She keeps you accountable in the most gentle ways, leading you to a healthier version of yourself with such confidence. I am so thankful for her work!
Mrs. Henderson is wonderful. She is laser focused on your needs. Professionally tackling a response with feedback, helpful hints, reading material along with appropriate exercises. She will allow you to grasp your need with exact identification for resolution. Getting to better is the goal.
Stephanie has been wonderful to work with! She is intentional and thoughtful in her listening and provides excellent direction and encouragement towards healing. Her skill set is vast and she brings a well-rounded, practical approach to deeper understanding and personal growth.
While I didn’t work with Stephanie long, I found her guidance to be extremely helpful within the first session. She helped me see things a lot more clearly than before I started working with her and I’m grateful I went to her for help.
I have finished my sessions for now, and I wanted to reflect back on how invaluable the process has been. Stephanie Speller-Henderson listened well, gave good constructive feedback, and helped me in so many other ways. After working things through with her verbally and in writing, I was able to take the steps I needed to take. She helped me to evaluate and improve both my situation and the way I was thinking about my situation. If I need counseling in the future, I will seek her out in a heartbeat.
Ms. Stephanie is a phenomenal counselor. She is attentive, responsive and a great listener. She offers great insight to matters discussed and shows a genuine concern in helping you resolve issues by equipping you with the right resources. Also, her energy and expertise provide such a safe space to openly discuss matters of the heart and life. Honestly, I wish I had found her years ago! I look forward to continuing to work with her and the progress made.
Wonderful experience!
She’s very understanding, and will tell you the truth about a situation/problem you’re dealing with. She doesn’t sugar coat life and is super helpful while you’re going through tough times. She listens actively and she makes me feel comfortable while I’m opening up about uncomfortable situations.
Stephanie has helped me so much since the first word out of her mouth. Her calm demeanor and supportive attitude have made my journey to a happier life very satisfying.
She's great. I would send a longer review but it's late and I didn't expect this popup. All I can say is that Stephanie will really hold you accountable to the things you say you want to do to improve yourself, and she's a no-BS counselor. I personally really benefit from the kind of straight-shooting she does. Counselors who don't tell me how it really is, who aren't blunt or assertive enough, tend to have a hard time helping me. I'm not a man of action, so I need someone who doesn't vacillate to help me explore my problems (and their solutions). I'm definitely heartbroken to have to leave Stephanie soon and I don't think I'll be able to find another counselor who can provide the same style (or quality) of service.
Stephanie makes me feel listened. Her questions are so thoughtful. I truly value her insights and the space she provides me to explore my concerns. Before we started talking, Stephanie asked me several questions and those questions really helped me to prioritize my concerns and the areas I wanted to work on, which was tremendously helpful. I recommend Stephanie without a doubt.
She is very helpful with trauma, grief, and family conflicts ! Very easy to work with. She has a great understanding and is very professional.
This is was my first time seeking counseling and Stephanie has been awesome . She understands where I come from and send a lot of help and deals a lot of it as well . Our first session she got down to the T and asked me questions I’ve never got before . She really focuses on main points in my situations and gets to them fast . Highly recommended .
Stephanie is a great listener and does a great job of providing resources to help you move past what you are struggling through.
Stephanie is the second counselor that I was assigned to after I asked for a new counselor. The experience was night and day. She provided me with various ways in which I could participate, offered numerous resources to help me on my journey, and most importantly she listens to me. Stephanie created a space in which I felt safe enough to be open with who and what I truly am without judgement. Another thing that I like about Stephanie , is that she provided me with relevant information that pertains to my issues outside of our counseling time. It blew my mind when she sent me an article that describe me and what I am going through to the “T”. I know that she will guide me in rediscovering myself.
Very helpful and patient. I’ve had 3 sessions with Stephanie so far, and I already feel that therapy has been a positive experience for me.
