She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s worrying them. Stephenie emphasizes practical steps so clients can feel more in control day to day.

Background and approach
Parenting concerns and caregiver stress are part of her regular work, too. Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals.
Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new ways to cope. Stephenie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to cause distress.
Together these methods help people develop skills and insight. Most sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on progress.
The overall aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to handle life’s demands.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and responding with empathy and respect. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist prioritize what matters most to the client in each meeting and adjust pace or focus as needed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions this often means setting small behavioral experiments, reviewing homework, and practicing skills together over video or messaging.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of difficult events. Delivered online, it can include paced processing, grounding techniques, and learning new coping tools while the therapist watches for signs the work needs to be slowed or adjusted.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to learn a client's goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to give feedback and shape the work as it progresses.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life.
