Stephanie brings 15 years of experience to her work and draws on several well-known approaches to guide sessions. She uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and meet people where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when thoughts and behaviors get in the way of feeling better.
She also incorporates mindfulness practices to calm the nervous system and existential ideas to help people clarify meaning and purpose. Jungian concepts may be used to explore personal symbols and story when that fits a client’s goals.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages small, doable steps and offers coaching-style supports when helpful. If you want a therapist who listens, helps set clear targets, and works at a steady, practical pace, Stephanie may be a good match.
Approach-driven online therapy that focuses on daily change
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps when someone needs a calm, accepting space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns by practicing different ways of thinking and acting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts her way of working as progress and life situations change.
