About Stephanie

Stephanie Griffin is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Stephanie also supports clients facing issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and the effects of domestic violence.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what they are feeling. Sessions focus on understanding how thoughts and behaviors connect. Stephanie brings Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral techniques into the work. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories when appropriate.

In sessions she encourages honest talk and careful listening. People can expect straightforward discussion about patterns, triggers, and coping options. She helps clients try small changes and notice what shifts in daily life.

Her background includes approaches aimed at relationships and meaning. The Gottman Method shapes work on communication and commitment concerns. Existential ideas help clients face questions about values and purpose when life feels unclear.

Stephanie’s practice is practical and focused on what matters now. She asks about a client’s goals and adapts methods to fit those aims. To begin, she guides people through a short intake to clarify priorities and plan next steps.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the client brings. It helps when someone needs a place to speak openly and have their experience reflected back. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thought patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and the reactions that follow them, often used when past events keep causing current pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work proceeds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit counseling into busy days, cut travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
