Online options and therapeutic approach



Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to learn practical skills for managing symptoms and day to day stress. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to support present-moment awareness and emotion regulation, offering simple practices clients can use between meetings.

For those working through traumatic memories, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her clinical repertoire and is explained in clear, step by step language during planning. Motivational Interviewing is available to support clients who are exploring change, particularly around substance use or other habit patterns, by clarifying values and enhancing readiness.

Stephanie approaches online work collaboratively, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and pacing. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging as communication options to match different needs and preferences.
