About Stephanie

Stephanie Risinger is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist who brings a practical, relationship-informed perspective to individual care. With 13 years of clinical experience, she focuses on how personal struggles and mental health challenges influence connections with others while primarily working one-on-one with clients. Her training as a marriage and family therapist means she has specialized knowledge about relational patterns and family dynamics, applied directly to support individual healing and growth.

She works with a broad range of concerns, including grief and loss, significant life changes, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, infertility, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and co-dependency. Her approach blends clinical expertise with an emphasis on real-world coping strategies that help clients navigate complicated emotions and transitions.

Stephanie earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University in 2009. She also served as an adjunct professor of psychology for five years at the same university and has been invited to speak at community events, organizational meetings, trainings, and retreats. Her background in both clinical practice and teaching informs a thoughtful, evidence-based style of care that aims to meet each person where they are. She looks forward to connecting with prospective clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Stephanie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work in ways that are accessible and practical. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings - it is often useful for people coping with anxiety, life transitions, or ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it a good fit for issues like depression, anxiety, and coping difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation for a range of concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan remains aligned with progress and life changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - enabling clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. This variety of formats supports consistent engagement and allows therapy to fit into busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
