How sessions work
How Stefanie uses evidence-based approaches online
Stefanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with stress, mood, anxiety and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsivity.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and reduce reactivity, and uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Figuring out which approach or combination fits best is part of the work. Stefanie and the client decide together based on symptoms, goals, and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Working with a licensed professional online still allows practical skills training, homework practice, and regular review of progress to help with parenting stress, family conflict, trauma processing, and coping with major life changes.
