How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, calming the nervous system, and building practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and test thoughts that fuel guilt and shame, and then try small behavioral changes to shift how they feel. Trauma-informed care and nervous system regulation strategies teach simple practices that reduce overwhelm and help someone feel steadier in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and circumstances. That means checking what feels doable, revising approaches when needed, and combining education with short practice exercises between sessions.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life feels intense. It can also let someone use video or phone depending on comfort, and keep therapy consistent during major life changes.
