Background and approach
Stephanie draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She combines acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. Motivational interviewing and a client-centered stance help people set goals and stay engaged in change.
In sessions she uses straightforward strategies: noticing unhelpful patterns, practicing small behavior changes, and building routines that fit daily life. She helps clients develop skills they can use between appointments. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.
Stephanie practices in Pennsylvania and offers online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She works in English and has a long history of supporting veterans and adults with mood and addiction struggles. If someone wants to begin, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems alive, then practicing new responses. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and managing ADHD-related habits.
Stephanie uses these approaches alongside client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help clients set practical goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client try strategies and adjust based on what helps most. This lets the work match a person's priorities and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while keeping the focus on skill-building and steady progress.
