How Stefanie’s Approaches Work Online
Stefanie blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make concrete changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses conversations on the client’s experience and priorities, so sessions follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stefanie treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on a person’s goals, day-to-day life, and what feels most helpful in session. She checks in regularly to review progress and tweak strategies when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short daily coaching or progress notes. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
