Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Stephanie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT focuses on committed action and developing psychological flexibility, making it helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they shape a plan that may draw from ACT, CBT, mindfulness practices, or a combination of methods to best support progress.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote sessions. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, maintain continuity of care, and adapt session structure to individual needs.
