How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through decisions, parenting concerns, or relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people name and work through strong emotions and repair connection in relationships or around intimacy issues.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques and then suggest a plan. That plan can change as you try methods and notice what helps most.
