Background and approach
Steffanie uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead and to validate their experience. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and track progress between sessions.
Her background includes work with anxiety disorders, attachment concerns, grief, self-esteem, and confidence. She also addresses trauma, anger, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and stress related to life transitions. Steffanie pays attention to how past hurt affects present choices and relationships.
People who want clear, practical steps often find this approach helpful. She supports those ready to try new strategies and develop coping tools. The work centers on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps the client speak openly about feelings and relationships. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of their experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and situations where changing thinking leads to different actions. Sessions often include practical exercises to try between meetings.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable steps and builds on what already works. It is goal-oriented and helps clients set clear targets for change in a short time frame.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy lets people connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, short reflections, or people who prefer writing. These options add flexibility for scheduling, fitting sessions around work or caregiving, and keeping regular momentum between appointments.
