People who have lived experience with adoption, chronic illness, caregiving burdens, or kink-positive concerns may find her background relevant. Stefanie practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches fit into online sessions
Stefanie draws on a few straightforward therapies that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, and it focuses on actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefanie works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt techniques so they connect with what the client wants to practice between sessions.
