How Stephanie works
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas appear in her work to help people stay present and focused on values. Her background includes clinic, residential, hospital, and school settings. That range gives her experience with many kinds of life challenges, from grief and trauma to parenting stress and compassion fatigue.
She helps people address anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and coping with major life changes. In sessions she uses straightforward conversation, practical tools, and collaborative planning. She may suggest small experiments, thought records, or mindfulness exercises you can practice between meetings.
Humor, music, time outdoors, and animals are sometimes used as part of the process when helpful. Stephanie aims to create a space where growth can feel real even when it’s uncomfortable. She works with each person to set achievable goals and to notice progress along the way.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Stephanie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, grief, and making decisions during life changes. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person set the goals and pace of therapy.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is practical for stress, low mood, and self-esteem work. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative; the therapist and client review what helps, try methods, and adjust based on goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and real-time exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, skill practice, or writing through thoughts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, or family life.
