Background and approach
Sessions move at a steady, practical pace and focus on skills that can be used between meetings. Stephanie uses ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep repeating.
Solution-focused work helps set short-term goals and track small wins. Her experience includes helping people manage mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and life transitions. She also helps people with sleep, eating concerns, parenting strain, work stress, and compassion fatigue.
ADHD is listed among her focus areas and she offers approaches aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while remaining empathetic. She aims to help people pause, reflect, and build more calm into daily life.

Approach-driven online therapy for practical results
Stephanie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This approach is useful for mood issues, worry, and managing ADHD-related challenges like organization and routine.She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set clear, short-term goals and celebrate small, measurable wins. That method is helpful when someone wants to see quick, practical changes in specific areas of life. Psychodynamic ideas are used selectively to notice repeating patterns and how past experiences influence current choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. The plan can shift as needs change so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style work. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep progress moving between in-person commitments.
