How Stephanie’s Approaches Work Online
Stephanie uses Narrative Therapy to help people see the stories they tell about themselves and to try telling different, more useful stories; this can help with issues like shame, identity questions, and life transitions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on empathic listening and creating space for people to guide the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in day-to-day life, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach usually happens together. Stephanie discusses the different options with each person, listens to their goals and preferences, and combines methods that fit the client’s needs. The aim is a collaborative plan that feels practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people connect face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on progress and problem solving.
