More about Stefanie

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have over 10 year experience working with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of capacities including individual coaching and counseling, volunteer management and community development in both educational and noneducational settings. I am a graduate of SUNY Purchase (BS in Economics, 2003) and Florida Atlantic University (MSW, 2007). I provide individual, family, couples and group therapy and coaching to adolescents, college students, adults and various special needs populations.

I love to help adolescents, young adults and adults find their passions in life and fulfill their potential through reaching their goals and becoming their most amazing selves.

I have worked with diverse populations of children, adolescents, couple, families, and adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, emotion regulation, executive function disorders, mood disorders, anger, oppositional behaviors, self-harming/self-injurious behaviors, depression, parent-child relational problems, trauma related issues, and other challenging life stressors.

In therapeutic sessions, I utilize a family systems and strengths-based therapeutic approach while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy and other evidenced-based therapeutic techniques.

“It’s not about what it is. It’s about what it can become.”

-Dr. Seuss

I look forward to meeting with you and discovering your best self!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
