Stephanie Birnbaum

Stephanie Birnbaum is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with 36 years of clinical experience guiding adults through anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, relationship strain, life transitions, and identity shifts. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, parenting and family dynamics, career transitions, bipolar and mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. She also notes additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, attachment and family of origin patterns, first responder and veteran concerns, and panic and mood conditions.

She specializes in supporting Christian women who seek psychological depth alongside faith-sensitive care and, when explicitly requested, thoughtfully integrates Biblical wisdom with evidence-based methods. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential exploration, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused strategies. Her style is described in her biography as direct, structured, and deeply compassionate. She helps people identify patterns, build practical tools, strengthen emotional regulation, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate sustainable self-leadership.

Stephanie emphasizes clear goals and practical steps while allowing room for meaning-centered work. She listens carefully, offers honest feedback, and partners with clients who are ready to move from feeling overwhelmed toward more intentional and manageable ways of living.
