About Stephanie
Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She helps people facing family stress, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Stephanie draws on experience from community and medical settings. She has worked with people managing PTSD, abuse, crisis situations, and family dynamics. Her background includes work in early childhood development and parenting programs.
She holds an Infant Mental Health endorsement and a Nurturing Parenting Program certification. Stephanie uses straightforward tools to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Her style blends practical skill-building with attentive listening.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps you can try between meetings. That might include coping skills for anxiety, strategies for communication around family issues, or brief safety and stabilization work after trauma. She also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and find workable next steps.
Outside of her clinical work she runs and takes part in mission trips. She brings that same focus on action and care to her work with clients. If you want to address family stress, parenting strain, or the effects of past trauma, she helps people map out clear, manageable options.
How sessions work
How Stephanie’s approaches work for online sessions
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to family or parenting issues.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach breathing, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques. DBT skills can be helpful when strong emotions or anger make everyday life harder.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Stephanie will discuss your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you can adjust what you do in sessions and pick tools to practice between meetings.
