She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles like low self-esteem, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps. She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Emotion-focused ideas are woven in when people need help naming and processing strong emotions.
Together these approaches help with issues like intimacy, compassion fatigue, addiction, and sleep problems. With 28 years as an LCSW, Stephanie has supported people through complex situations including chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and trauma. Her experience includes working with clients facing career changes and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.
Sessions are offered from Florida and conducted in English. Stephanie encourages clear communication about goals and preferences so she can tailor sessions to what matters most to each person.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful patterns and improving mood or sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect emotional responses and can help people improve closeness and repair patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will test methods, adjust the plan, and pick tools that fit the person’s life and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework, and ongoing coaching between longer conversations. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
