How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and insomnia. DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and overwhelming stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what feels most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering a way to meet without being on camera. Licensed professionals can still teach practical CBT and DBT skills, set clear goals, and use motivational strategies in virtual sessions to support progress over time.
