More about Stephanie

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I'm a therapist with experience supporting clients through a wide range of life challenges. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and the complexities of major life transitions. My practice focuses on helping clients address communication difficulties, social anxiety, isolation, and the emotional weight of caregiving responsibilities.

I'm particularly skilled in supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and midlife transitions. I also work with clients managing mood disorders, panic attacks, chronic pain, workplace stress, and family dynamics. Additionally, I have experience supporting individuals with autism spectrum differences, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairments.

My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to build meaningful change. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking greater clarity about your life's direction, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
