About Stephanie Heimann
Her therapeutic style is warm, welcoming, nonjudgmental, honest, and empowering. She emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual story and works to understand how clients interpret life events so that healing and growth flow from their own strengths and insights. Stephanie is upfront about the reality that therapy can sometimes feel uncomfortable - she believes meaningful change often requires challenging long-held thinking and tolerating temporary discomfort in order to emerge stronger.
Practically, she uses a person-centered approach that lets clients direct their goals, and she integrates solution-focused techniques to identify what has worked well in the past. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when exploring how thoughts influence behavior and beliefs, and she brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when clients need support accepting emotions and improving emotional regulation. Stephanie also values creative and experiential elements such as music, interaction with animals, humor, and connection to the outdoors as potentially healing influences.
She appreciates visitors taking the time to learn about her practice and the thoughtful step of seeking support on one’s life journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Stephanie Heimann draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client directs goals and priorities and feels heard and respected. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors and can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT offers practical skills for accepting difficult emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense feelings and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, or through live chat and text-based messaging for more immediate or convenient check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care when schedules change, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward personal goals.
