Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and teaching practical skills to change those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. This approach can help reduce reactivity to stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping during difficult life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and goals to generate concrete, short-term steps toward desired changes. It is well suited to clients seeking pragmatic strategies for relationship issues, career concerns, and everyday coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works with each client to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Stephanie is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow work to continue from different locations, and make it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining consistent care.
