How Stephanie works
Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. Her work draws on client-centered methods that keep each person's goals first. She blends cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotional regulation skills.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used to increase awareness and strengthen motivation for change. Stephanie has experience in community and medical settings and has worked with early childhood and family development topics. That background informs how she supports parents and caregivers navigating the impact of family history, separation, or early loss.
She also has experience with crisis intervention and trauma management. Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys running and mission trips. She encourages a collaborative process where clients set goals and take practical steps toward them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals around what matters to the person. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and collaborative planning to help people move toward clearer choices and better coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication, which can be helpful for managing strong emotions and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, challenges, and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different tools and track what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, coaching-style conversations, or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy around daily life and responsibilities while working on the approaches described above.
