Stephanie Ehrlich Seitz , LCSW

Stephanie Ehrlich Seitz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, career challenges, and life changes. She works with a practical, respectful style and aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Many people come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Stephanie focuses on clear steps and steady support to regain footing.

She uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to meet real-life problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices help people notice difficult feelings without being swept up by them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-guided action when life feels confusing.

Stephanie brings 13 years of clinical experience in North Carolina to her work. She aims to make sessions straightforward and collaborative, so people know what to expect each week. Her LCSW credential stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and signals clinical training and experience in therapy.

She often helps people dealing specifically with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, Seasonal Affective Disorder, self-love, workplace stress, and women's issues. Conversations focus on practical strategies and small changes that add up.

Stephanie recognizes that starting therapy takes courage. She invites prospective clients to take the next step when they are ready and to discuss goals, preferences, and the pace that feels right.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

The practice draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people facing stress and life changes. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when emotions are hard, which can help with life purpose or motivation. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete steps to test new responses to anxiety or workplace stress.

Stephanie treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. Together they set small, practical goals and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when a less visual check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter exchange fits someone’s schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
