Getting to know Stephanie Smith

Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here! I'm Stephanie, a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting stress, trauma, or navigating life on the autism spectrum—you’re not alone. I've walked this path with many clients, and I’m here to support you, too. I earned my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Central Michigan University, and that foundation has fueled a lifelong passion for compassionate, evidence-based care. After working with several large online therapy platforms, I started to notice a pattern: clients were drawn to the convenience—but many were left disappointed by inconsistent, low-quality care. I often met people who had bounced from one counselor to another, feeling unheard or unsupported. So, I built Discreet Online Counseling with one clear mission: to offer affordable, flexible, and truly high-quality therapy—on your time, at your comfort level. Here, we do things differently. Our counselors aren’t just licensed—they’re carefully selected, continuously trained, and regularly reviewed to ensure every client receives the kind of care that creates real change. A Bit About Me, Beyond the Therapy Room: Outside of counseling, I’m a proud mom to two biological kids and a stepmom to two amazing stepsons. My husband and I love traveling (even if it means hauling suitcases full of sports gear!) and cheering on our kids in everything from football to dance recitals. I know how busy, messy, and beautiful life can be—and I bring that understanding into every session.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership. We’ll work together to explore what’s going on in your life—not just on the surface, but also where those struggles might be rooted, whether in the present or the past. I don't just focus on what's wrong—I focus on what’s strong. As a strength-based therapist, I’ll help you uncover the resilience, insight, and wisdom that already exist within you—even if you don’t see it yet. My clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, and that they feel both heard and challenged in meaningful ways. You can expect a warm, collaborative space where you're not just venting—you’re learning, growing, and moving forward. We’ll take the work seriously, but we don’t always have to be serious—sometimes laughter and lightness are part of the healing, too.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Once you submit an appointment request, I will send you an email with the information on next steps, and am also available to new clients by phone to answer any questions.
