About Stephanie

Stephanie Goossens Alayon helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck by focusing on practical steps and clear goals. She speaks English and Spanish and is based in Florida as a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. Her tone is straightforward and calm, aimed at people who want useful tools they can use between sessions.

She often starts by listening to what feels most urgent, then co-creates small, manageable goals.

How Stephanie works

Sessions include skill practice, simple behavior changes, and check-ins about what is or isn’t working. Stephanie draws on techniques that help with worry, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and navigating life changes. Her work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns.

That perspective helps when people feel empty, struggle with attachment, or repeat familiar hurts in relationships. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more useful ways of thinking. For people who find feelings overwhelming, she offers DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness strategies to ground the body and mind.

Solution-focused methods are used when clients want fast, practical steps to move forward. Stephanie tailors each plan to the person’s needs, goals, and pace. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. The approach is collaborative, straightforward, and aimed at helping people get back to daily life with more confidence.

Online support options

Approach and access: therapy methods for everyday life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people feel insecure, fear abandonment, or repeat old relationship habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress.

Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods suit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan matches what the client wants to achieve and how fast they want to move.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from elsewhere when scheduling is tight. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick questions, brief updates, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what feels most helpful.
