Stephanie Collins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA LCSW 29060 - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California) practicing in California with 21 years of clinical experience.
She earned her Master of Social Work from California State University, Sacramento and holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. She left Texas in 1990 and has lived in California since then.
Stephanie enjoys her work and looks forward to helping people manage the challenges they may be facing. Modern life can feel overwhelming, and having a steady, supportive voice can make a meaningful difference during difficult and uncomfortable times.
Her clinical approach addresses stress and anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Somatic Therapy. Because stress is often held in the nervous system, her practice includes somatic breath work alongside exploration of how thoughts shape feelings and behavior. She also has experience supporting clients with self-esteem and confidence concerns.
Stephanie practices with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s specific needs. She recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and she is available to support clients through that process.
When she is not working she enjoys walking her dog in the park, practicing hot yoga, and cooking.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - you can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits your life, whether that is through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to attend sessions consistently and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed you have the option to switch therapists. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical way to get support for everyday mental health concerns while working with qualified clinicians.
