About Stephanie
Stephanie Feliciano is a licensed social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and big life changes. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Stephanie aims to make conversations feel calm and approachable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. That can mean talking through patterns that keep causing pain, testing small changes, or practicing ways to manage strong emotions.
How Stephanie works
She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. Stephanie also incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Emotionally-focused methods help when people want to repair closeness or understand attachment wounds.
She weaves in existential and Jungian perspectives when clients want meaning, identity, or deeper self-understanding. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, eating and body image issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She is familiar with adoption and foster care topics, attachment and communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns.
People working with her can expect direct listening, straightforward feedback, and collaborative planning. Therapy sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Stephanie practices in Illinois as an LCSW and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approaches that inform online counseling
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests small, practical changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people understand strong feelings and repair attachment or intimacy problems by naming emotions and working through them together.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different approaches together until something fits. That collaborative process guides which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep regular work on goals while juggling everyday responsibilities.
