Stephanie Krawec , LCSW, LISW

Stephanie Krawec is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people regain footing when life feels overwhelming. She draws on a decade of experience to listen, validate, and work with clients on practical steps forward. Her style is direct but warm, and she aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable.

She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, as well as those facing addictions or struggling with attention and focus. Women’s issues are a named focus, and she also supports people navigating relationship concerns, attachment problems, and life transitions. Stephanie pays attention to how everyday pressures and past hurts shape current choices.

In sessions she uses approaches that emphasize the client’s goals and strengths. Conversations focus on identifying small, manageable changes that add up over time. She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and create new habits that support recovery and growth.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are part of her toolbox for people ready to make changes around substance use, commitment, or life direction. These methods are practical and goal-oriented, aiming to build momentum through achievable steps. She encourages clients to set the pace that feels right.

Stephanie holds an LCSW and an LISW and practices in Kentucky while maintaining licensure in Ohio. Her approach combines straightforward guidance with encouragement, so people can move from feeling stuck to making concrete progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to help clarify what matters most and to support chosen changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach often takes collaboration. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they will choose whether to emphasize client-centered listening, skill-building with CBT, or a mix of approaches to match the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, quick scheduling, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other responsibilities.
