Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stephanie draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building on each person's strengths to create a collaborative, supportive environment - it is useful for improving self-esteem, processing life changes, and strengthening relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also incorporates solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and identify concrete steps forward, often helpful when clients want short-term progress on specific challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie collaborates with each client to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors techniques over time based on what is most effective for the individual or family.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These formats support flexibility and continued access to therapists for follow-up, skill-building, and ongoing support, allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-focused work across different communication styles.
