How Stephanie blends therapy approaches online

Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to help people accept difficult emotions while committing to values-based actions; it can be useful for grief, chronic stress, and life transitions.

She also draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and understanding. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Stephanie will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try, adjusting as needed during treatment in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skill practice, phone sessions are lower bandwidth, live chat can be used for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates and between-session care. These options provide flexibility so clients can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level.
