About Stephanie
Stephanie Nash is a licensed social worker with nearly three decades of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She greets new clients with straightforward compassion and listens without judgment. Her style is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means clients learn how thoughts affect feelings, practice simple mindfulness skills, and set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on skills that can be used between appointments. Stephanie's background includes long-term practice in the Washington, D.C. area, working with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and career pressures.
Her experience covers both short-term problem solving and longer-term emotional work. Clients can expect a collaborative process where Stephanie asks questions, offers strategies, and adjusts plans based on what helps. She values a strengths-based approach that highlights a person’s existing skills while introducing new coping tools.
That combination is intended to build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Sessions use practical exercises, reflective conversation, and focused planning. Stephanie aims to help people set small steps that produce noticeable change.
When ready, prospective clients can begin by sharing what matters most to them and what they hope to change.
Approaches that translate to online care
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of thinking and acting; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, trauma symptoms, and daily overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, practical steps toward change and is helpful for people who want quick, actionable goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as needed so the approach fits the client’s pace and life circumstances, making the work collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed; live chat and messaging let people communicate in shorter bursts or between sessions. These options help people access consistent care without rearranging their whole schedule.
