Stephanie Carvajal, LCSW

Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate stressful life moments. She works with adults on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting stress. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions.

She relies on straightforward, interactive methods. Sessions often focus on skill-building, problem solving, and short-term goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness exercises are offered when strong emotions or overwhelming stress get in the way of daily life.

Stephanie has five years of experience working in community and medical settings. That background includes work with trauma, crisis intervention, and early childhood and family concerns. She also holds an Infant Mental Health endorsement and a Nurturing Parenting Program certification, which inform her approach to parent support and early development topics.

In a typical meeting she aims to create a nurturing, interactive environment. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and practical steps to move forward. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people identify their own reasons for change.

Outside of work Stephanie enjoys running and mission trips. Her international experience has included service visits to Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua. She invites prospective clients to take the first step and explore a plan that fits their goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. CBT helps people identify patterns of thought that feed anxiety or depression and then test small behavior changes to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try a few methods to see what fits best. Together you will refine techniques and set practical steps that match your needs and preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions in English or Spanish and continue work with a licensed professional when location changes occur.
