About Stephanie

Stephanie Goossens Alayon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings a calm, practical approach to helping clients navigate abandonment and attachment issues, communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness, family of origin concerns, and questions of life purpose.

Over the past five years Stephanie has focused her practice on a diverse adult population, guiding people through trauma processing, significant life changes, and a variety of mental health challenges. Earlier in her career she also worked with adolescents and young adults, which informs her understanding of developmental and family dynamics that often emerge in adult treatment.

Stephanie emphasizes skill-building and concrete coping strategies, drawing on therapeutic methods such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). As an LCSW she blends practical tools with relational support to help clients increase self-love, manage somatic symptoms, address commitment concerns, and repair or reframe important relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options for Healing

Stephanie commonly integrates attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into online sessions. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which is useful for attachment wounds, commitment concerns, and family issues. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve self-esteem.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT teaches concrete strategies for coping with intense emotions, improving communication, and managing impulses in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations when appropriate.
