About Stephanie
Stephanie Hegle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who centers her work on helping people build more stable nights and calmer days. She focuses on sleep and rest alongside anxiety, stress, depression, and grief. Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at practical steps people can try between sessions.
Stephanie draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of sleep and mood. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people set realistic goals and try small changes that add up over time.
With ten years of counseling experience, Stephanie has worked in a variety of settings and with many different life issues. She has particular experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and single parents, and she often addresses caregiver strain, parenting stress, and relationship conflict. Sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions are also common topics in her work.
Sessions tend to emphasize practical tools you can use right away - sleep routines, activity scheduling, thought tracking, and short experiments to test what helps. Stephanie encourages collaboration and keeps plans simple so they fit into busy days.

Approaches that support better sleep and daily coping
Stephanie uses client-centered therapy to create a space where people set the agenda and share what matters most. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and tailoring work to each person's goals, which can help identify sleep priorities and everyday barriers to rest.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and sleep or mood. CBT can help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, change bedtime behaviors, and try straightforward strategies to improve sleep and reduce anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support consistent check-ins. It can also allow for shorter coaching-style contacts or longer weekly sessions depending on what is arranged, helping therapy fit into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
