How her approaches translate to online therapy
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, stress, mood changes, and routines that get in the way of daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her work and teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, anger, and coping with strong emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan so it fits the client’s life and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let you use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to exchange thoughts between sessions and to get support when writing is more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
