About Stephanie
LICSW in Washington with five years' experience, Stephanie Kinsey focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, life changes, addictions, ADHD, grief, career questions, compassion fatigue, and LGBT issues. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing with practical coaching to help people manage symptoms and move toward specific goals. Stephanie practices in Washington and conducts work in English.
Stephanie starts by listening to what feels most pressing. Initial sessions map the concerns, current coping, and what a useful next step would look like. She describes clients as the expert on their lives and centers the conversation on concrete goals and small, testable changes.
Sessions use structured tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices help people build awareness and calm in everyday moments. Motivational Interviewing supports making changes when motivation feels mixed or stuck.
Her background includes roles in healthcare and school settings, which shaped a practical, problem-solving approach. She aims to offer clear strategies people can use between sessions, such as experiment-based homework and brief skills practice.
People who want straightforward, goal-oriented work that includes coaching-style support often find this approach helpful. To begin, the site asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so Stephanie can learn what’s most important to address.

How her approaches translate to online work
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns, test new ways of responding, and track small changes over time. That approach suits worries like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping habits. Mindfulness practice in sessions focuses on short exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be used when stress spikes.She treats choosing methods as a collaborative process. During the first meetings she helps clients identify goals and preferences, then recommends which techniques to try. Adjustments are made together when something isn’t working or when priorities change.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and keeping skill practice integrated into daily life. Because the original bio does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to follow through on between-session tasks and to run brief check-ins when needed.
