About Stephanie
Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, and family challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and brings five years of experience working in community and medical settings. Stephanie aims to create a warm, interactive space where clients can begin to feel safer and more able to handle life’s hard moments.
She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to address problems like depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on skills you can use between appointments, clear steps toward goals, and ways to cope when things feel overwhelming. Stephanie describes her style as nurturing and interactive and centers the work on each person’s needs.
Her background includes work with early childhood development and families, and she holds an Infant Mental Health Endorsement and a Nurturing Parenting Program Certification. That experience informs her understanding of family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment concerns.
Stephanie has also worked with crisis intervention and trauma-related care, including domestic violence and disaster-related stress. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to tailor a plan to each person.
Outside of work she enjoys running and mission trips, with past service in Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and can set their own goals. It is useful for people navigating family stress, grief, or major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It can help when anger, relationship conflict, or intense emotions make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what is helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people apply skills in real life and keep momentum between meetings.
