About Stefani
Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and person-focused, and she aims to make sessions feel respectful and straightforward.
She uses conversational, interactive sessions to help people name problems and try clearer ways of coping. Stefani draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.
How Stefani works
She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities and pace. Motivational interviewing appears in her work when clients want to make difficult changes, such as quitting smoking or adopting healthier routines. Hypnotherapy has been used in some cases to support smoking cessation and weight loss goals.
Solution-focused techniques help keep talks goal-directed and action-oriented. Stefani supports people facing trauma, grief, anger, relationship and family stress, parenting concerns, and identity questions including LGBT issues. She also addresses mood disorders, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and social anxiety.
Her sessions aim to translate understanding into manageable steps and small experiments between meetings. Sessions are offered in English and arranged online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The intake process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that follows the therapist's availability.
Stefani describes therapy as a collaborative effort to find workable changes and restore everyday functioning.

How Stefani’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. Sessions follow what each person brings and aim to create a respectful, listening space where the client guides the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on the client's needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and a way to share updates between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
