About
Stephanie Birnbaum, LPCC, is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor with 36 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, relationship strain, major life transitions, and seasons of identity change.
Her work is especially focused on Christian women who want therapy that offers psychological depth while remaining sensitive to faith. When a client explicitly requests it, she can thoughtfully incorporate Biblical wisdom alongside evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In everyday terms, CBT helps people notice and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, while DBT emphasizes emotional regulation and practical skills for navigating intense feelings and relationships.
Stephanie’s style is direct, structured, and deeply compassionate. She aims to help clients recognize patterns efficiently, develop practical tools, strengthen emotional regulation, set healthier boundaries, and build sustainable self-leadership. She listens closely, offers honest feedback, and provides clear guidance to support forward movement from feeling overwhelmed or stuck toward a steadier, more intentional, healthier life.

Practical Online Therapy With Skills-Based Support
Stephanie Birnbaum draws from evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practicing new ways of responding that better support mood, stress management, and everyday functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds clear, skills-based tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships, which can be especially helpful when life feels intense or overwhelming. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes what is already working, clarifies goals, and builds step-by-step strategies to help clients move forward with greater direction and momentum.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie collaborates with clients to understand what they are facing, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most useful. Together, they can tailor sessions so the work stays practical, structured, and aligned with the client’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support without the commute. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or times when meeting in person is not convenient.
