About Stephanie

Stephanie uses straightforward talk therapy and practical tools. She helps people notice patterns that keep causing pain and tests small changes to see what works.
Background and approach
Therapy sessions often include learning new coping skills and practicing them between meetings. Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured techniques. That means she listens closely while also offering ways to rethink unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness and DBT-style skills are used to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. Motivational interviewing is part of her work with people facing addiction or stuckness. She helps clients weigh their own reasons for change and build motivation from their values.
Sessions move at a pace set by the client, not a preset agenda. With six years of experience, Stephanie supports people through practical problems like relationship communication, codependency, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses abandonment and attachment concerns that affect daily life.
Her style is warm, goal-oriented, and focused on clear, usable steps.
Online approaches that teach skills and build motivation
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and strengths. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients name their goals and priorities, which is useful for stress and trauma recovery.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety and mood concerns and includes homework to practice new ways of thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, or DBT-style skills, teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to handle conflict. These skills can reduce impulsive reactions and help manage anger and intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and pace. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or short, regular practice between sessions. These options let people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
