Stephanie Kokot , LMSW

Stephanie Kokot is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with four years of professional experience. She has worked with people confronting stress and anxiety, navigating LGBTQ+ related concerns, and coping with the effects of trauma and abuse. Her clinical experience also includes supporting clients with bipolar disorder, depression, and Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Stephanie approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual needs and goals. She emphasizes a personalized process that recognizes the unique circumstances of every client and adjusts methods as care progresses. Beginning therapy can be a courageous step, and Stephanie honors that decision while working to create a supportive environment for progress and healing.

Through attentive listening and tailored planning, she aims to meet clients where they are and help them build strategies that fit their lives. Stephanie accepts new clients in Michigan and offers multiple options for connecting that align with each person’s comfort and schedule.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Stephanie draws on evidence-based, trauma-informed practices that prioritize safety, pacing, and understanding when working with experiences of trauma and abuse. This approach focuses on recognizing how past events affect present coping and helps build pathways toward stabilization and recovery.

She also uses skills-based interventions that teach practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, mood changes, and everyday challenges. These strategies aim to improve emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving so clients can navigate difficult moments more effectively.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Stephanie works with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what is and is not helpful.

Online therapy with Stephanie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier for people with mobility limits, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints to connect with licensed professionals and maintain consistent care.
