Stephanie Krawec, LCSW, LISW

Stephanie Krawec is a licensed social worker with ten years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. She approaches each person with empathy and practical guidance, supporting clients as they identify strengths, set goals, and take manageable steps toward change.

She holds LCSW and LISW credentials - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LISW stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker - and maintains licensure in Kentucky and Ohio. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including mood disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, substance use, and issues related to identity and relationships. She also works with clients on self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges common to young adults and women in midlife.

In sessions Stephanie emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based partnership that combines compassionate listening with evidence-informed strategies. Whether a person is facing panic attacks, wrestling with substance use, managing relationship difficulties, or seeking a clearer sense of self, she offers support, encouragement, and practical tools to move forward and build a more sustainable, satisfying life.

How Stephanie’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and prioritizes the client’s goals, allowing conversations to unfold at the client’s pace while building trust and self-awareness. This approach is useful for people facing stress, identity concerns, relationship struggles, or uncertainty about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to shift patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and mood management because it teaches tools that can be applied between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing helps people explore and resolve ambivalence about change, making it particularly effective for those considering adjustments to substance use, lifestyle habits, or relationship choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which makes it easier to schedule appointments, maintain momentum between meetings, and access support from different locations. These options support consistent, goal-focused work and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
