Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Stefanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy, which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship difficulties. Motivational interviewing is another approach she uses to support clients who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and building internal motivation for healthier choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stefanie works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she tailors techniques so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce barriers related to travel, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while adapting to each client's needs and daily life.
