Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Stephanie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment-focused ideas to address emotional patterns and interpersonal difficulties.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Attachment-Based approaches explore early relationship patterns and their impact on current connections, supporting work on intimacy, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work over time, combining techniques to address symptoms and the underlying dynamics that contribute to them.
