Stephanie Pattison is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who is also nationally certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She holds Washington licensure as an LMHC (WA license 60506016) and brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma or abuse, relationship difficulties, intense or out-of-control emotions and behaviors including addictions, and life transitions.
She works from a warm, authentic stance and has been told she has a gift for helping people feel comfortable and at ease. Stephanie draws on a blend of approaches - solution-focused, strength-based, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral methods - tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.
In therapy she helps clients find a workable balance between acceptance and change, supporting them to recognize their individual strengths while identifying areas for growth. Sessions emphasize a genuine connection, compassionate listening, honest feedback delivered with care, and sometimes a bit of lightness or humor.
If someone believes Stephanie might be a good fit, they are encouraged to contact her to begin working toward greater satisfaction, calm, and well-being in their life.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy really helps. For most common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides. Individuals can connect in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
Therapists available for online work are licensed professionals, and if someone determines a different match would be better they can switch therapists at any time. For many people facing everyday mental health concerns, remote therapy offers an accessible, evidence-supported option that fits into modern life.
