Stephanie Safos-Moriarty, LMHC

Stephanie Safos-Moriarty is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience supporting a wide range of clients. As an LMHC she holds a professional credential that indicates formal training to provide mental health therapy and counseling. She has worked extensively with trauma, juvenile sex offenders, human trafficking survivors, couples and families, substance use concerns, parenting challenges, depression and anxiety, LGBTQ issues, domestic violence, and individual therapy needs.

Stephanie approaches care with compassion and authenticity, partnering with each person throughout the counseling process. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other modalities so treatment can be tailored to a client’s unique needs and goals. She helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Stephanie understands that taking the first step toward therapy can feel stressful, and she frames that step as meaningful progress. She looks forward to working collaboratively with clients to build coping skills, clarify priorities, and move toward improved wellbeing in ways that fit each person’s life and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. This approach focuses on concrete strategies that can produce noticeable changes in daily functioning.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills - tools that often help people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or problems with anger.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Stephanie partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors methods collaboratively so the plan fits each person’s situation and pace.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or connect through live chat and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other life demands and maintain continuity of care during transitions.
