Background and approach
Stephanie emphasizes short-term tools people can use in everyday life alongside deeper work when needed. Her background includes work in correctional settings supporting justice-involved people, which shaped a calm and direct approach to problem solving. That experience informs how she handles crisis moments and complex life stressors.
She brings five years of professional practice as an LPC in Wisconsin to each session. Stephanie also helps with relationship stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues connected to identity such as LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria. She can support people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, first responder stress, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. People can expect clear suggestions, guided practice, and space to talk about what matters most to them. Stephanie aims to work at a pace the client finds comfortable and realistic for everyday life.

How CBT and Online Care Fit Together
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors. CBT focuses on breaking problems into manageable steps, trying out different reactions, and tracking what works in daily life. This approach is useful for stress, mood disorders, addictions, and many forms of anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and pace. Together they decide which skills to focus on and how to practice them between sessions so progress feels practical and measurable.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when a quick check-in is needed or when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share thoughts between meetings and fit short conversations into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
