How Stephanie's Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Stephanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and ADHD-related struggles. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what is already working, making it useful for parenting challenges, stress, and coping with life changes.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together you decide whether to emphasize skill-building, pattern exploration, or short-term solution work and adjust the plan as needed.
