How her approaches translate to online therapy
Stephanie uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person, helping clients name feelings and priorities in simple, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce reactivity and improve daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand strong emotions in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals, current struggles, and personal preferences. That process can change over time as needs shift.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow people to use sessions for practical skill practice and homework between meetings to support lasting changes.
