About Stephanie
Stephanie MacMurtrie is an LPC licensed in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, motivation, career strain, addiction, trauma, anger, and intimacy-related issues. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aiming to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent.
She focuses on respectful, sensitive care. Conversations are shaped to each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all script. In sessions she encourages open sharing of thoughts and feelings without judgment so people can work through what matters most to them.
Stephanie uses practical tools drawn from several approaches to help clients set realistic goals and try small changes between sessions. She works at a steady pace and adjusts the plan if something doesn’t fit. That means therapy is a collaboration where the client’s feedback guides what comes next.
Her seven years of experience include supporting people through family conflict, life transitions, and struggles with mood or motivation. She aims to make appointments useful and focused on immediate concerns while also addressing longer-term patterns when helpful.
If you’re nervous about starting, she acknowledges that taking this step takes courage and will help you get oriented to the process. To begin, clients use the site’s matching tools and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and making space for you to lead the conversation. It helps when someone needs empathy and acceptance while they figure out what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses simple experiments and tasks to reduce anxiety or low mood. That method is helpful for stress, worry, and changing unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Clients are involved in deciding which methods to use and when to shift focus.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let sessions focus on skill practice and problem solving between meetings, which many people find practical and effective.
