Stephanie Krawec, LCSW, LISW

Stephanie Krawec is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with ten years of experience. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or big life changes. Stephanie meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps forward.

She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to help untangle daily pressures and painful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her approach for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen, reflect, and support each person’s pace.

Stephanie works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, panic attacks, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and commitment issues, infidelity and jealousy, divorce and separation, substance misuse, and midlife or young adult transitions. She discusses problems in plain language and focuses on skills people can try between sessions.

Her style blends practical suggestions with encouragement. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change, and solution-focused techniques keep sessions action-oriented and concise. Over time the aim is clearer choices and steadier coping for daily life.

Stephanie practices from Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. People who want to get started complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on availability.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that worsen anxiety or depression and to practice alternative behaviors that can improve day-to-day functioning. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy to provide steady listening and reflection, creating space for each person to set their pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work together with the person to choose whether CBT, client-centered work, or elements of Motivational Interviewing or solution-focused techniques fit best with their goals and comfort level. That plan can change as needs and priorities shift over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can be useful for quick reflections or ongoing support. These formats aim to make scheduling easier and to keep therapy accessible alongside work, family, and everyday life.
