Online support
Approaches and how online work can help
Stephanie draws on Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choice, and values when life feels confusing or stuck. That approach is useful for people wondering about purpose, major life transitions, or how to live in line with their values.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience. This helps people feel heard while they work through emotional pain or self-doubt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist and client decide what to try based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions may shift over time as needs change and as different strategies are tested.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or fitting care into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
