How Stephanie's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections. It can be useful for those struggling with trust, closeness, or attachment questions related to adoption and foster care concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and social anxiety because it offers clear steps people can try between sessions.

Stephanie treats the choice of approach as a team effort. She talks with each person about their goals and preferences and tailors techniques from attachment work, CBT, or trauma-focused methods as needed. The method can shift over time based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. This flexibility helps therapy fit into busy days and changing routines.
