About Stephanie

Stephanie Nunez is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She also helps with anger and life changes that feel overwhelming. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish and offers help for those coping with complicated relationships and painful past experiences.

She focuses on practical, person-centered care that starts with listening. Sessions are grounded in trauma-informed thinking and cultural responsiveness, so clients are met where they are. Stephanie aims to create a respectful space where people can speak honestly about what’s happening in their lives.

Her work often addresses social anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, and issues tied to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum adjustment. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain or illness, isolation, guilt and shame, and the impacts of sexual assault and abuse. Narcissism and blended family concerns are listed among her additional focus areas.

In therapy sessions she helps clients identify manageable steps, rehearse new ways of responding, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. The approach is collaborative - she and the client decide what to try and how to track progress. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person’s needs.

Clients can expect straightforward language, practical tools, and attention to cultural background. Stephanie aims to help people regain a sense of control and improve day-to-day functioning over time.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Stephanie’s biography describes an evidence-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered way of working. Person-centered care emphasizes listening first and shaping the plan around the client’s goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk and make choices about next steps.

Trauma-informed practice means attention to how past harm affects current thoughts, feelings, and reactions. That helps when clients bring issues like sexual assault, abuse, or overwhelming stress, and it steers the pace and boundaries of work in sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques to match the client’s needs and preferences. Together they decide what to try, how progress will be measured, and when to adjust the plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work over distance while keeping sessions focused on goals and daily functioning.
