Stephanie FaganLICSW

Stephanie Fagan is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia. She has ten years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She also helps with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and pregnancy and childbirth related distress.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. The therapist supports people as they identify manageable steps and develop coping tools that fit daily life.

Stephanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and postpartum depression among other concerns. She also works with issues related to fertility, chronic illness, communication problems, and isolation. Her approach is adaptable to each person’s situation and goals.

Over a decade of practice has included work with survivors of domestic violence, first responders, and those navigating blended family or fatherhood issues. She pays attention to how life events and social identity shape emotional health. Clients can expect calm, focused discussion and down-to-earth suggestions.

To begin, she asks people to consider what they want to change and what feels realistic right now. Stephanie aims to support growth at a pace the client finds comfortable, helping them track progress and adjust plans as needed.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online care

Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people with common concerns. One approach focuses on practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, helping people notice patterns, try small behavioral changes, and track what works. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by pacing memory work and grounding skills so people feel steadier day to day. These methods are aimed at measurable changes in mood, sleep, and daily functioning rather than abstract theory.

Finding the right approach is a process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then adjust methods as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps ensure techniques match the client’s life and needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during transition periods like pregnancy and postpartum. It can also make scheduling around work, medical appointments, or childcare simpler, while keeping the focus on steady, practical work toward the client’s goals.
