How Stefanie Uses Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop safer, more secure ways of connecting with others and themselves. It can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relational stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through clear, practical exercises and is often used for anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefanie treats therapy as a team effort and will discuss which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
