About Stephanie
Stephanie Schindler is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with 26 years of experience in mental health and wellness. She trained in marriage and family therapy and now works with individuals facing a range of life stresses. Stephanie uses a practical, solution-focused style to help people move toward the life they want.
Her approach centers on identifying clear problems and testing small changes that make a difference. Sessions tend to focus on workable strategies and problem-solving steps rather than long, open-ended exploration.
How Stephanie works
That practical focus can help people see progress within a few meetings. Stephanie has helped people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, family conflict, and coping after loss. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and major life transitions.
Her experience includes many settings across Nebraska over more than two decades. In sessions she aims to collaborate with each person to set realistic goals. She explains options plainly and checks in about what is and isn’t helping.
The work is direct but empathetic, with an emphasis on skills you can use between sessions. People who prefer structured, goal-oriented work may find her style a good fit. Stephanie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online options
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is solution-focused work, which centers on setting clear goals and testing small, manageable steps to solve problems. This method helps when people want quick, tangible improvements in relationships, stress, or daily functioning.She also draws on interventions that address trauma and grief by helping people build coping skills and stabilize emotions. Those techniques teach breathing and grounding practices, pacing for difficult memories, and ways to manage overwhelming feelings so life can feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to pace the work.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day without needing a camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coping tools, or when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or parenting responsibilities.
