About Stephanie
Stephanie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Stephanie aims to support and empower those taking steps toward change and a more satisfying life.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of difficult feelings like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Sessions often center on what a person wants to change now and practical steps to get there. Stephanie draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor work to each person's needs.
Many people bring trauma, attachment concerns, or struggles tied to adoption and foster care into sessions. Stephanie also addresses issues like self-esteem, relationship communication, caregiver stress, and the effects of separation or loss. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present choices and feelings.
Her style balances empathetic listening with clear, actionable ideas. That can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing coping strategies, or working through painful memories with EMDR when appropriate. The emphasis is on collaborative problem solving and practical tools that can be used between sessions.
Clients can expect a calm, steady approach that centers their goals. Stephanie encourages questions and regular check-ins about progress so the work stays focused and useful.
How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s experience. In sessions this means the therapist reflects what you say, helps you name feelings, and follows what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to change how you feel and act. EMDR is a method some therapists use to process traumatic memories by combining focused attention with guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation; it can help reduce the intensity of distressing memories.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with what the client finds helpful.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not specified in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or between obligations. It also offers flexibility for quieter check-ins that don’t require long in-person visits. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic approaches to remote work so clients can continue their progress when coming to an in-person office is difficult.
