About

Stephanie Czarnecki is a licensed clinical social worker based in Illinois with over 10 years of direct clinical experience. She holds professional licensure to practice as a clinical social worker in both Missouri and Illinois and focuses on a broad range of mental health and behavioral concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger management, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and family conflicts, grief, intimacy and parenting challenges, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes comprehensive patient care across multiple settings, with experience in case management, individual and group therapy, marital and family therapy, anger management groups, coordination of medication management, support for long-term recovery, and suicide prevention education and intervention. She has worked with people experiencing conditions from common mood and anxiety disorders to more complex presentations such as co-occurring substance use, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum concerns, dissociative disorders, and traumatic brain injuries.

Stephanie brings a warm, collaborative style to her work, aiming to meet each person where they are and to treat everyone with dignity, compassion, and respect. She does not define clients by a diagnosis, but uses an understanding of symptoms to help identify individualized strategies. Her practice is eclectic and tailored to the needs of each person, often incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques and collaboratively developed treatment plans. She encourages clients to set their own goals and supports them in pursuing changes that lead toward greater well-being, and she looks forward to joining clients on that process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Research and clinical experience show that online therapy can be an effective option for many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. For these types of issues, virtual sessions are often comparable in benefit to traditional in-person appointments.

One major advantage is convenience. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their needs and schedule - whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility helps make regular care more accessible and easier to maintain.

All therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch providers if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, flexible way to get support while navigating everyday life and change.
