About Stephanie

Her style is practical and down-to-earth. She treats issues like self-esteem, career concerns, relationship and intimacy questions, and depression. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and focuses on helping them build on their strengths.
Sessions often include guided meditation and visualization to support emotional regulation and clarity.
Background and approach
Those who are dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, or codependency can expect work that addresses patterns in relationships and boundaries. Her practice also supports people facing family of origin problems, divorce and separation, fertility or fatherhood questions, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She pays attention to trauma and abuse histories and works to create a steady pace that feels manageable.
Communication problems and infidelity are addressed with attention to repair and insight rather than blame. Dr. Bobbitt draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and deepen emotional awareness.
She also uses Attachment-Based and Existential ideas to explore meaning, values, and relational patterns. These approaches are used flexibly to fit each person’s needs. People seeking help around LGBTQ issues, intimacy-related concerns, or alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink will find a nonjudgmental space to talk.
The work is collaborative, and the focus is on practical steps that can bring clearer choices and more satisfying relationships.
How attachment, emotion work, and CBT translate to online therapy
Dr. Bobbitt commonly blends Attachment-Based ideas with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people notice and change repeating cycles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions to improve closeness and repair in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let therapists and clients read facial expression and tone, while phone sessions can be a good fit when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a quieter way to share thoughts without being on camera. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
