I’m Stephanie
My Approach to Supervision
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and I help clinicians build the confidence to sit with the hard stuff. Whether you're newly licensed and still finding your footing, or you've been practicing for years and want to deepen your work with trauma and dissociation, supervision and consultation give you a place to ask the questions you're not sure you're supposed to ask yet.
My own training runs through EMDR, ego state therapy, and treating clients with dissociative diagnoses, and that's where I spend most of my time as a consultant. As a supervisor, I work with LPC-Associates who want to bring experiential, trauma-informed modalities into their practice, and I also enjoy working with Christian clinicians who want to draw on their faith while supporting clients through trauma.
My therapist supervision model focuses on:
Building real confidence in your clinical judgment, not just competence on paper
Learning to sit in the silence with your clients instead of rushing to fill it
Bringing trauma-informed, experiential modalities like EMDR and ego state therapy into your work
Things we’ll work on
Balance
A lot of clinicians come to supervision confident in how they conceptualize a case, but less sure how to stay present and vulnerable with the person in front of them. We'll work on holding both, the clinical thinking and the relational trust, at the same time.
Ethics
Working with trauma and dissociation raises real questions around diagnosis, disclosure, and scope of practice. We'll talk through what comes up in your actual sessions, not just what a textbook says should happen.
Preparation
If you're pursuing EMDR certification or additional trauma training, we'll map out what hours and experience you still need and build a plan to get there without losing sight of your caseload.

FAQs About Clinical Supervision and Consultation with Stephanie Clanton
-
EMDR, ego state therapy, and working with clients who have dissociative diagnoses. I'm also a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, so if you're pursuing EMDR certification yourself, that's an area I know well.
-
I work with LPC-Associates, both newly licensed and those just starting to look for a supervisor. I'm looking for clinicians who want to bring trauma-informed, experiential modalities into their work and who are ready to sit with clients in silence instead of rushing to fix things. I don't currently supervise graduate students seeking practicum placements, and I don't provide on-site direct clinical hours.
