Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build trust and help people find what matters to them. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort out feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and stress. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people understand emotional patterns in relationships and within themselves to improve connection and emotional regulation.

Stephanie works collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches for each person. She discusses options and adapts methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. The choice of approach is treated as part of the therapy process rather than a fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress.
