Stephanie has experience supporting adults and couples facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to major life transitions. She draws on conversational therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps and building on strengths. She helps people talk through painful events, reframe unhelpful beliefs, and develop coping strategies that fit daily life. The overall aim is clearer decision making and increased confidence in handling stressors.

How client-centered work is adapted for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person and reflecting their concerns back so they can find their own answers. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes because it keeps the client’s priorities central to each session.In practice the therapist uses questions, summaries, and collaboration to help people notice strengths and options. That conversational style helps when working through trauma-related reactions and rebuilding confidence after difficult events. The therapist will also use pacing and empathy to support people who are processing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then decide together which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as goals evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make some conversations simpler by using shorter check-ins or audio-only options when that helps a person focus.
