About

Stephanie Kinsey is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who offers a warm, client-centered approach to therapy that emphasizes listening, collaboration, and practical skills. She works with people who are navigating anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, grief, addiction, ADHD, and other life changes, helping them clarify priorities and build resilience.

With a background in healthcare and school settings, Stephanie brings an understanding of how competing demands and transitions affect everyday functioning. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify useful coping strategies, strengthen existing resources, and take manageable steps toward meaningful goals.

Stephanie frames the therapeutic relationship as a partnership in which the client is the expert on their own life and the therapist offers guidance, validation, and practical tools. The first session is an opportunity to explore what brings someone to therapy, define what success would look like, and begin assembling an individualized plan. Throughout the process she emphasizes achievable skills, grounded reflection, and steady progress toward greater confidence and fulfillment.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Stephanie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve everyday functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills to help manage stress, build emotional regulation, and increase resilience.

Stephanie approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She partners with each person to explore which methods feel most useful, tailors techniques to the individual's goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations within Washington, and continue work between sessions with messages and brief check-ins that support ongoing momentum.
