Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in clear, usable tools rather than long lectures. With seven years of professional experience, Stephanie has worked with people facing grief, trauma, relationship problems, addiction concerns, and challenges around parenting and caregiving. She also supports those coping with sleep difficulties, anger, career stress, and identity issues such as LGBT concerns.
Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication and codependency struggles, and neurodiversity topics like autism and Asperger syndrome. She adapts techniques for people experiencing dissociation, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, and blended family dynamics. Stephanie is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington.
She offers sessions in English and provides online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven actions even when anxiety or difficult thoughts are present. It can help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. They may combine elements from different approaches to address specific problems and build concrete skills together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access through several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, continue work while traveling, or use shorter formats for quick skill practice.
