More about Stephanie
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I work with clients across the lifespan, with a particular focus on helping young adults and parents navigate their unique concerns.
My expertise spans depression, anxiety, stress management, parenting, career transitions, and life changes. I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, isolation, social anxiety, panic disorder, mood disorders, and women's health issues—including pregnancy, postpartum depression, and midlife transitions. I also work with clients managing chronic pain, disability, caregiver stress, and workplace challenges.
Beyond these areas, I'm experienced in supporting individuals through trauma, self-harm, family conflict, codependency, and autism spectrum experiences. I bring compassion to conversations about grief, guilt, shame, life purpose, and the complex emotions that arise during major life shifts.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to build meaningful change at your own pace. I'm honored to support you on your journey toward greater clarity, connection, and wellbeing.

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.
