About Stephanie
Stephanie Griffin is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Stephanie aims to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about hard feelings and start making small changes.
She uses a client-centered way of working that puts each person's goals and preferences first. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at a comfortable pace.
How Stephanie works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For people coping with traumatic memories, she incorporates EMDR to address distress linked to past events. She also draws on existential ideas to help clients examine meaning, values, and choices when they feel stuck.
The Gottman Method appears among her approaches and can guide work on communication and related relationship concerns. Stephanie has experience with a broad range of related issues, including abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with autism spectrum-related challenges, personality-related patterns, mood regulation issues, and the fallout from divorce and separation.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People start by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and follows each client's goals and pace. It is about listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people who carry distress from past events by working through upsetting memories and the feelings attached to them.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits best with a client's needs, goals, and comfort level. It is normal to try one method and adjust as progress unfolds, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around busy schedules. Video is useful for full-session conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets clients reflect between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life.
