Online options and clinical approaches
Stephanie offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to choose the communication method that fits their schedule and comfort level while working toward therapeutic goals.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspectives and priorities guide the work. That approach emphasizes listening and validation while the therapist supports clients in clarifying goals and building self-directed momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.
When helpful, Stephanie incorporates Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to support goal setting and short-term progress.
