Niki Stephens, LCSW, is a warm and compassionate therapist who supports clients ages 8 to 100 as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions etc. Niki believes therapy should feel safe, encouraging, and deeply human—a place where clients can show up exactly as they are and feel genuinely understood.

Niki integrates a blend of evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care. With younger clients, she incorporates play therapy and expressive techniques to help them process emotions in developmentally meaningful ways. Niki also brings creative approaches—such as art, writing, movement, and mindfulness—to support clients of all ages in exploring their inner world and building practical coping skills.

Across her experience in community mental health and private practice, Niki has developed a deep appreciation for the resilience people carry within them. She is passionate about helping clients strengthen emotional awareness, cultivate flexibility and self-compassion, and create more grounded, connected, and hopeful lives. She would love the opportunity to hear from you and assist you on your unique journey to wellness! You are able to utilize the email button or contact the business cell phone at: 859-594-4100.
