About Stephanie
Stephanie Fredericka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making a first step feel less overwhelming.
She builds care plans that start with where a person is now. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that fit into daily life. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Stephanie also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that show up today. That can help people understand why they react a certain way and choose different responses. Solution-focused work is woven in to set clear, short-term goals and track progress.
Her experience includes supporting people with trauma, addictions, grief, bipolar, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. She helps individuals facing relationship strain and people juggling career and family demands. Parenting is a named focus and she supports parents working through the stresses that come with raising children.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Stephanie is based in New Jersey and holds an NJ LCSW credential. She aims for practical tools, steady reflection, and gradual change.

How Stephanie’s Approaches Work Online
CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions use that approach to spot unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve mood. It works well for stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and daily parenting decisions.Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns and past experiences that influence current reactions. In remote sessions this can mean talking through recurring family or relationship themes to uncover why certain responses keep repeating and then choosing different responses.
Solution-focused therapy keeps conversations goal-oriented and practical. In online work this approach helps set clear short-term goals and track small wins, which can be motivating when life feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging is handy for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make regular care more accessible for parents juggling many demands.
