Welcome - I am so glad you have made it here!
My name is Stefi and I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in the state of Kansas. I have experience working in a domestic violence shelter, a residential/intensive outpatient substance abuse program, an in-home family reunification and preservation program, a children's psychiatric hospital and residential treatment program, and have previously provided case management for foster care/permanency and refugee resettlement programs. I have experience working with clients struggling with trauma, abuse/neglect, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, interpersonal conflict, family conflict, dissociation, compassion fatigue/burnout, career challenges, future planning, disordered eating, communication challenges, and navigating difficult life transitions.
My counseling style is laid-back, with a non-judgmental focus on client-centered empowerment. I believe everyone is worthy of love, respect, and compassion and need only the proper tools and connection to thrive. I believe we all are doing the best that we can with the tools and resources currently at our disposal. That being said, if there are areas of your life lacking fulfillment or causing you distress, let's add to your toolbox together. I have extensive experience using cognitive-behavioral, solutions-focused, and narrative approaches to help my clients achieve their therapeutic goals. I often use humor and everyday language to be relatable and inviting in session but rely on my clinical judgement to appropriately pair my approach to best meet the unique needs/preferences of each client. My goal is to listen to your story, sit with you in that experience, and collaborate with you to design a tailor-made treatment plan to move you forward on the path to healing.
It takes incredible courage and vulnerability to take the first steps towards change, and I'm so glad you have. If you are ready to take the next steps and feel I would be a good fit to do so with you, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have recommended Better Help to may of my family and friends because of the ease of use, the wonderful counselor I found and the user friendly app.
Stevie has been a game changer in helping c me process life! I feel like I can openly discuss issues with her without judgement. She’s flexible with approaches that challenge but can easily fit into my life. This is the first time I have ever felt validated and moving forward during therapy and I owe that completely to Stefi!
I don’t know what to say other than she is the best! I’ve been to dozens of counselors over decades and have never had someone this tapped into my issues. She’s amazing!
Good listener and caring, non-judgemental counselor.
I am writing this review to share my experience with Stefi. From the beginning she was kind, open and understanding. She made me feel at ease and was an anchor during a hard time for me. He compassion for helping others is incredible and she makes sure to inform you on every thing the counseling will entail. Its amazing to know there are people like her in this world ! Thank you for working with me !!
Stefi has been a wonderful counselor and I am so thankful that she chose to work with me. She is attentive and always keeps her patient's comfort and best interest at heart. I can tell that she genuinely cares about me and what I am going through even though we haven't met, simply by the way she is adamant about checking in on me. She is willing to work around my life schedule when scheduling live sessions, and always puts my needs first. It has only been a week with Stefi, and I am extremely grateful already that we are working together. I am thrilled to see the things she can assist me with and the positive changes my life has coming.
I feel that Stefi Metzger is the best counselor I could have gotten matched with. Not only did she fit the demographics I was asking for, she is extremely knowledgable in her therapy methods, writes me back with very thoughtful insights, picks great worksheets for me, listens well, is able to take what I am saying and use it as a tool for me to use in a worksheet, and gives good advice. I am excited to continue working with her.
very helpful, I appreciate it very much.
