Stephanie Hrit, LMSW, LCSW

Stephanie Hrit is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She is an LCSW and an LMSW with six years of professional experience. Stephanie offers straightforward help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. In sessions she listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. That means clear goals, small steps, and tools that can be used between meetings.

Her work draws on methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses skills for managing strong emotions and building everyday mindfulness. Motivation-focused techniques are used when someone needs help finding momentum to make a change.

Stephanie has supported people through life changes such as separation, caregiving stress, and recovery from difficult events. She also addresses concerns like communication problems, codependency, body image, and feelings of emptiness. Her approach balances practical strategies with attention to the person behind the problem.

People who start therapy with her can expect a collaborative process. She will tailor the plan to your needs and check in on progress as you go. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for you.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a plan that fits each person's needs. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. It teaches practical techniques to break unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. These tools are useful when intense emotions or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Then she will suggest one or more methods and adjust the plan as you try them out, making decisions collaboratively.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The main practical benefit is fitting therapy into everyday life - sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other routine demands. Online work can also make check-ins easier when people need shorter sessions, or when not being on camera helps them focus. Licensed professionals help match approach and format so therapy can fit your schedule and goals.
