About Stephanie
Stephanie works from the idea that each person is the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths and small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on real tools for coping with stress, anxiety, or mood shifts.
Her approach combines client-centered conversations with structured skills from dialectical behavior therapy and narrative therapy techniques. That mix helps people manage strong emotions, rethink unhelpful stories about themselves, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Stephanie also draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurts are still getting in the way.
She has supported people facing addictions, grief, sleep problems, caregiver strain, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns and immigration stress. Stephanie also helps those dealing with codependency, family of origin struggles, and the fallout from domestic violence or narcissistic relationships.
Her style is collaborative and practical. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. The goal is steady progress that fits into everyday life, not quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. Online sessions let a therapist reflect your concerns, validate strengths, and guide decisions in regular conversations that feel personal and respectful.Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be introduced and practiced in remote sessions, then reviewed and adjusted over time to fit daily life challenges like stress, sleep disruption, or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, comfort, and what is happening day to day. That may mean blending client-centered listening with DBT skills or adding narrative and trauma-focused tools when helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick strategy or skills refresh is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt materials and exercises so progress continues between appointments.
