Approaches and Online Therapy Options with Stephanie
Stephanie integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet a range of needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression while improving coping skills. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, purpose, and values to help people navigate life changes, grief, and feelings of isolation by clarifying what matters most to them. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms using structured processing techniques to reduce the emotional intensity of past events.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend or adapt methods that best suit the person’s situation, pacing that work together toward achievable outcomes. Licensed professionals and therapists bring training and flexibility to tailor the plan to the individual.
Online therapy also provides practical benefits. Video calls allow real-time face-to-face interaction, phone sessions offer convenience when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support people who express themselves better in writing or need more flexible scheduling. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy or changing lives.
