About Stephanie
With 13 years of professional experience, Stephanie draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to match what each person needs. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Internal Family Systems. These are applied in simple, concrete ways during sessions so people can try them between meetings.
Her work often focuses on everyday problems such as communication difficulties, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace stress. Conversations usually center on clear goals and small experiments to test what helps.
Stephanie asks clients to see the first appointment as an opportunity to figure out goals and next steps together. She will help shape a plan that fits practical life demands while also addressing emotional needs. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.
To begin, she recommends using the site’s Start Therapy button and completing the short matching questionnaire. That information helps schedule sessions and set an initial direction for work together.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that match what matters most. It can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when anxiety gets in the way of meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses simple experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and workplace or relationship worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, intense stress, and relationship tension.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for short check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in real-world settings between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to help people apply practical tools to the specific stresses and life changes they face.
