How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Stefanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stefanie works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adapts techniques so they feel relevant and doable in daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for continuity when schedules change. They can also support brief check-ins or focused skill practice between in-person visits, depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
