About Stefanie
Stefanie Pollack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, parenting pressures, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and aims to create a calm, respectful space to talk through hard moments and build practical next steps.
She favors a person-centered way of working that keeps each conversation focused on the client's needs and goals. Mindfulness and simple goal setting are woven into sessions to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation for change. Stefanie brings eight years of counseling experience to the room. That background includes supporting people with depression, bipolar concerns, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and work-related stress.
She also works with issues related to adoption, caregiving, hospice and end-of-life matters, and immigration stress. Sessions include practical skills as well as space to process emotions. Stefanie helps clients practice strategies between visits and tracks progress together.
She emphasizes small, manageable steps rather than big, overwhelming plans. Stefanie conducts therapy in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and adapting sessions to their pace and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set their own goals so work feels relevant and manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by offering concrete exercises people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. Stefanie will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what matches the client's goals and daily life. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls are well suited for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can be helpful for shorter updates, coping prompts, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
