Therapeutic Approaches for Online Trauma and Growth Work
Stephanie draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where the client’s priorities shape the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people clarify goals and build on their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety or low mood; it emphasizes skills and exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences through approaches that honor safety and pacing, helping clients process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing emotional burden.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time to match what is most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy with Stephanie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and practice new skills in the contexts where they are needed most.
