Hello! I'm Stephanie Tran, currently a counselor for the detention center in my county. I obtained my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lubbock Christian University, and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from West Virginia University.
I am a certified grief counselor and nationally certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).
My passion is helping individuals find their voice, their own passion, and helping guide people forward in their own journeys.
As a counselor, my ultimate goal is to assist every individual with becoming their own best advocates and working towards self-accountability.
I work with individuals who want to process, not just patch things up. My clients are deep thinkers and feelers who seek clarity and meaning as they move through transitions, carry generational trauma, or sense an inner pull toward change. Together, we explore the unseen layers of your story, learning to sit with discomfort, honor emotions, and hear what’s been quietly asking for attention. For those open to faith, I believe God meets us in these tender moments, not with answers, but with gentle presence and opportunities for renewal and grace.
The counseling relationship between you and I is one of mutual respect and responsibility. Starting with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing, we will work together to help you move forward and reach your goals. Therapy is a process that takes place in a non-judgmental environment where you are free to share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Odessa
Searching for therapists in Odessa starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Odessa, TX for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists and counselors in Odessa, review each person’s listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with concerns like yours. Some therapists may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, while others focus on couples counseling, marriage counseling, or grief counseling.
In a smaller city like Odessa, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets, so virtual therapy can help expand your choices. Some people prefer meeting in person near work, school, or home, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, look at whether a therapist is accepting new clients, how soon they have availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they describe their approach, communication style, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Odessa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make mental health care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
