About Stephanie
She keeps sessions focused on practical steps and clear listening. Stephanie uses everyday language and gentle curiosity to help people name what matters and try new ways of coping. Clients work on communication, managing strong emotions, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Her background combines talk therapy with skills-based strategies. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to build steadier attention. Attachment-focused ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness.
Sessions often include exploring past hurts and learning new responses in relationships. Stephanie supports people dealing with caregiving stress, aging questions, adoption and attachment issues, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses shame, guilt, codependency, and isolation.
Throughout therapy she asks what the person wants to change and tailors work to those goals. Her style is collaborative and respectful, with attention to practical tools people can use between sessions. People come away with clearer choices and concrete steps to try.
To begin, Stephanie asks about current struggles and what a better day would look like. That helps set priorities and choose simple, achievable goals for the weeks ahead.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Stephanie blends attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques in session. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and follows their pace, offering support and reflection as needed. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will check in about what feels helpful and adapt the focus as work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so they match your needs.

It can also let people practice skills in the situations where they live and work, and make follow-up planning simple without requiring extra travel.
