Stephanie has worked in counseling for 10 years and holds the LPC credential, Licensed Professional Counselor. She sees people from young adulthood onward who are navigating the move into independence as well as later life transitions. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and family-of-origin issues.

How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions to improve relationship patterns and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and options, then try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. Together they review what’s helping and adjust the plan when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, reflections, and skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
