About Stephanie
Stephanie uses several therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She blends straightforward skills from cognitive behavioral therapy with attention to emotions and relationships. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying simple experiments between meetings, and building clearer steps to reach personal goals.
With 28 years of experience, Stephanie has worked with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and challenges related to adoption and attachment. She also supports those navigating career changes, intimacy issues, and the special strains that come with caring for someone with cancer or age-related needs.
Her credential is LCSW, listed for Florida and Virginia in the supplied information. She offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space and will tailor conversation and planning to what matters most to each person. If you want someone who listens and helps you create doable steps, she may be a good fit.
To begin, the process is simple: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses, which can help with grief, caregiver stress, and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets patterns of thinking and behavior by teaching concrete skills for mood, sleep, and worry management.Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist will help you decide together which methods fit your goals. That means talking about what feels most useful, trying approaches in session, and adjusting plans based on what helps you make steady progress.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the supplied biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten some check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people continue therapy through life changes and caregiver responsibilities without rearranging as much in-person time. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to phone or video formats when those are offered, and your therapist will discuss which option best supports your goals and daily routine.
