Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Stefanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support people coping with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship strain.She also brings motivational interviewing into conversations when people are ambivalent about change. That approach uses guided questions and reflective listening to help clients clarify their goals and build motivation. Stefanie works collaboratively with each person to choose which methods feel most useful for their goals and day-to-day needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets a therapist and client work face to face for skill practice, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, coping strategy reminders, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into a busy life.
