Stephanie Carvajal, LCSW

Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She brings five years of clinical experience from community and medical settings. Stephanie works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Stephanie’s style is warm and interactive. She uses practical approaches that focus on what a person wants to change. Sessions often include talking through current problems, building coping skills, and making small, doable plans to feel better. She also draws on crisis intervention when immediate stress or safety concerns arise.

Her background includes work with trauma, depression, PTSD, and family dynamics. She has trained in early childhood and family-related topics and holds an Infant Mental Health Endorsement and a Nurturing Parenting Program Certification. Those experiences inform how she looks at family patterns and attachment concerns.

Therapy with Stephanie can include skill building from cognitive-behavioral approaches and emotion regulation techniques from dialectical behavior ideas. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools are also part of how she helps people gain momentum and stay engaged. The focus is on realistic steps that fit each person’s life.

Outside of clinical work, Stephanie enjoys running and has participated in mission trips to Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and encourages people to take the first step toward change.

How core approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard, which can support relationship and family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It often involves practical exercises you can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with one approach and adding others as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness practices or skill-building exercises from home or another familiar setting. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and tools so therapy can match everyday routines and responsibilities.
