About Steffani
Steffani Lynn-Schmidt Hammitt is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Alabama. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. Steffani listens carefully and then helps people make clear, doable changes that fit their lives.
She works with relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, and issues around self-esteem. Parenting and family conflict are part of her regular work, and she also supports people who have trouble with concentration, memory, or focus commonly related to ADHD.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how attachment patterns and past separations shape current interactions. In sessions she favors straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. Steffani tailors each plan to the person she sees, using techniques that match the client’s goals.
People can expect goal-focused talk, practical exercises, and check-ins to track progress. Her background includes approaches that help change unhelpful thoughts and reconnect partners. She draws on methods aimed at rebuilding trust and improving communication.
That variety lets her adapt to different needs and preferences. Steffani encourages small, steady steps. She frames work as a partnership where the client’s priorities guide each session.
The focus is on usable tools and real-world changes so progress can be noticed between appointments.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change emotional responses that affect their connections with others. In practice that means naming feelings, tracking how they show up in relationships, and practicing new ways to respond that build closeness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them, and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steffani will discuss your goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. She treats the choice as a collaboration and adjusts strategies as progress is tracked over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions let people read facial cues and practice new interaction patterns, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule, chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family obligations.
