About Stefanie
Her approach centers on the relationship between client and therapist. She uses a strength-based, client-centered stance to meet people where they are. Stefanie focuses on practical coping skills and clear goals. She works with clients to identify steps they can try between sessions.
Stefanie blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques help people reduce reactivity and build attention to the present moment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation or impulsivity are concerns.
Her style is encouraging and respectful. Stefanie aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood. She helps clients turn insight into everyday changes that reduce distress and improve functioning.
With two decades of clinical work, Stefanie has supported people with a wide range of issues, including multicultural concerns, family problems, body image, and difficulties related to identity and discrimination. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to take a first step toward those goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and clear about their goals. Online sessions can use this approach to create a collaborative space for talking through stressful experiences and deciding next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. In online sessions CBT can include tracking thoughts, trying new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing progress together.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills work well in therapy that focuses on impulsivity, anger, or overwhelming emotions and can be practiced and reviewed in virtual meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting strategies over time and combining elements from different approaches when helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy often makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as arranging meetings around work breaks, using a telephone call when video would be difficult, or choosing shorter check-ins when time is limited. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum while they work on managing stress, trauma responses, and everyday coping.
