About Stephanie
Her background includes work with young children, foster children, adolescents, teenagers living in group homes, young men, foster and adoptive parents, incarcerated military men and women, and other incarcerated individuals living in the community. That range of experience informs a flexible approach to care and an awareness of diverse family and life circumstances.
Stephanie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and develops treatment plans and therapeutic conversations that are tailored to each person’s specific needs. She supports clients in building confidence and pursuing self-discovery and personal healing. Stephanie offers encouragement and practical support as people take the often-difficult first steps toward change, with the goal of empowering them to move toward greater well-being.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephanie draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals and values shape sessions - it is useful for building self-esteem, exploring relationships, and strengthening self-acceptance. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning, making it practical for stress and anxiety management. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find personal motivation for change, which can be especially helpful for improving motivation and sustaining new habits.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients and with input from licensed professionals and therapists to tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to connect from different settings and at varied times, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
