Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help set clear, realistic goals and keep momentum in between sessions.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative and practical. Stefanie listens for strengths and patterns, then suggests small experiments clients can try. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and review what works.

Therapeutic approaches in online care
Stefanie commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people unpack the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how personal narratives shape choices and highlights strengths people can use to change patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another main tool; it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. She aims to find the right mix of approaches together with each person. The first sessions are often about listening and deciding which methods match a client’s goals and daily life. Stefanie treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made. Online formats make it easier to fit work into a busy week. Video calls let people see and hear one another for full sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when video feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or follow-up between full sessions to keep momentum and practice new skills.Common questions about this listing
