About Stephanie
Dr. Stephanie Zeid is a Texas psychologist with 14 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions.
Her background includes work with mood disorders, coping with medical issues, and addiction-related concerns. She uses simple, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and build skills. Sessions often include problem solving, strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindful ways to tolerate distress.
Background and approach
Clients leave with clear tools they can try between visits. Stephanie adapts her approach to each person’s situation and goals. She draws from client-centered work that emphasizes listening and collaboration.
Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to spot patterns that maintain worry or low mood and to test new ways of thinking and acting. When emotion runs high, she incorporates skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense feelings and improve moment-to-moment coping. Mindfulness practices are added to help with sleep problems, rumination, and stress regulation.
The aim is straightforward care that builds real-world coping skills. Her practice serves people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, career concerns, ADHD, trauma, and chronic health conditions. She works with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender clients and with those facing caregiver fatigue or chronic pain.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Texas.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while deciding what changes they want to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and anxiety and teaches concrete skills to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when feelings become overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to match approaches to their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means starting with what feels most relevant, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan over time based on what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, and when writing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy easier to fit into a busy life while still focusing on skill-building and progress.
