About Stephanie
She offers straightforward, skill-focused work rooted in cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practice. Sessions often include learning coping tools, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing ways to respond differently to strong emotions. Stephanie also draws on psychodynamic perspectives and motivational interviewing to understand patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her background includes medical social work in hospital settings and home health support. Since 2020 she has provided telehealth therapy while based in Missouri, and she has worked with a wide range of ages and life situations across clinical settings.
Stephanie frequently supports people facing grief and loss, adjusting to illness, caregiver stress, and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship and family conflict, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and managing compassion fatigue.
Sessions focus on concrete skills you can use between meetings and on making space to talk about past experiences when that feels useful. Outside work she enjoys reading, travel, movies, music, martial arts, gardening, and time with her French bulldogs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult. It can help people who feel stuck after loss or major life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That partnership makes it easier to pick tools that match your needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find virtual sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in from work or between appointments. Online work also lets the therapist teach coping exercises, walk through thought records, and offer coaching between sessions in ways that aim to support real-life changes.
