About Stephanie
She has 12 years of experience and came to counseling after working with children on the autism spectrum and adults facing addiction. Those roles influenced her interest in trauma, anxiety, and addiction recovery. Over time she broadened her focus to include grief, self-worth and identity, postpartum concerns, spiritual struggles, and anger management.
Stephanie describes her style as warm, validating, and straightforward. She emphasizes working together to set clear goals and choosing practical steps a person can use between sessions. Progress is framed as steady and paced to each person’s needs rather than rushed.
People looking for help with stress, anxiety, relationship or intimacy issues, or substance use may find her experience relevant. She also lists specialties such as LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and a range of focus areas from attachment and abandonment to fertility and first responder issues.
Sessions are described as collaborative, with attention to healthy pacing and consistency. If her approach feels like a fit, visitors are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to talk.

How her approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience with empathy and respect. It helps when someone needs acceptance while they sort out goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It supports work on anxiety, depression, stress, and habits by using clear steps and exercises to practice between sessions.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method from the start.
Online therapy can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier. Many people find it helpful for keeping consistent appointments, fitting a session into a break at work, or reducing travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. The focus is on practical access and making therapy a workable part of daily routines rather than a perfect solution.
