Background and approach

The goal is to reduce overwhelm and help people feel more present in their own lives. Stephanie draws on several therapy approaches when they fit a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and action.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that get in the way of close relationships. In practice, sessions are straightforward and conversational.

Stephanie aims to create a calm space where someone can try new ways of coping and return to everyday responsibilities with less strain. She brings 15 years of experience as an LCSW and uses that background to offer steady guidance. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and take place online by video, phone, chat, or text.

Scheduling follows a short matching questionnaire and a plan is built around what the client wants to change. Stephanie works from Illinois and holds the LCSW credential IL LCSW 149.017813.

How somatic and talk therapy translate online

Somatic-informed work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body. Online sessions can include guiding a person to notice breath, posture, and sensations while talking about what feels difficult. This can help with stress, anxiety, trauma reactions, and body-focused concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace. In an online setting this means the therapist mirrors concerns, offers space, and helps the person choose goals that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT online often uses homework and short, focused conversations to practice new skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what is working and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or mobility limits. Many people find that having multiple formats helps them keep progress steady while fitting therapy into a busy life.
