About Stephanie
Stephanie draws on many methods to shape sessions around a person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people take action aligned with their values even when feelings are intense. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different daily habits. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas help people understand relationship patterns and improve closeness and trust.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Stephanie listens first, then suggests skills, experiments, or conversation guides that feel realistic for the client. She also brings coaching-style support for goal setting and practical problem solving when that fits.
With 28 years as an LCSW, Stephanie has worked in a range of settings and with many concerns, from chronic stress to addiction and compassion fatigue. She adapts tools to each person's situation, including when health, caregiving, or life transitions complicate progress.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and a focus on small changes that add up. If someone wants help sorting next steps, Stephanie provides a steady, down-to-earth presence and practical guidance.

How Stephanie’s approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and building small, values-based actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior to create different daily routines and coping strategies, which can be useful for mood, sleep, and anxiety problems. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas help people understand patterns in close relationships and work on building more secure connections and better communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try first and will adjust plans based on how things are progressing and what the client prefers. That way sessions stay focused on tangible goals and practical next steps.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to guide in-the-moment skill practice, follow up on homework, and keep momentum between appointments.
