About Stephanie

Stephanie Roman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She focuses on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and helping people cope with major life changes. Stephanie works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or identity and intimacy concerns.

Her practice emphasises a client-centered stance where the person's own story guides the work. That means listening to what matters most, clarifying goals, and building practical steps from there. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense stress or anger.

Narrative therapy is part of her approach when people want to reframe painful experiences and see different possibilities for their life story. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to disrupt daily functioning, with attention to safety and pacing. Stephanie blends these approaches to match each person's pace and needs.

People contact her about a wide range of concerns beyond relationships and trauma, including ADHD, sleep struggles, low self-esteem, career transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance use. She also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, immigration, family of origin problems, and feelings of isolation.

Sessions emphasize clear skills, steady support, and practical problem solving. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and strengths. Online sessions using this approach involve listening closely, setting clear goals, and checking in about what helps in day-to-day life. This method suits people who want a practical, person-led process for relationship or life-change concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In online sessions DBT skills can be taught and practiced in short, focused modules to help with anger, intense emotions, or chronic stress. These skills help people manage reactions and improve communication in strained relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest an approach or mix of approaches. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can help people maintain regular work on their goals while handling family and caregiving demands.
