Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make hard changes, such as quitting smoking. Sessions are collaborative and conversational. Stefani listens for what matters most to the client and then designs a plan together.
She keeps language simple and goals concrete so progress is easier to track. Stefani has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and the challenges of major life changes. She also helps with ADHD, social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and communication or codependency problems.
She offers practical tools alongside talk therapy, such as behavior-focused exercises, goal-setting steps, and strategies for coping with stress. The focus is on usable skills that fit into everyday life and support ongoing change.
Approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a respectful, supportive conversation. It helps people gain confidence and clarity by prioritizing their goals and rhythm in sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that reinforce anxiety, depression, or mood swings. Online CBT sessions include practical homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral experiments that translate well to video or messaging formats.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then try methods that seem most likely to help. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so sessions remain useful and focused.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on goals between full sessions.
