Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Stefanie commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness for people who have intense feelings or relationship struggles. Motivational interviewing helps clarify values and strengthen motivation to make concrete changes, which can assist with procrastination, behavior change, or staying engaged in therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stefanie will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and recommend methods that fit the client's needs. She frames this as a collaborative process and will adjust strategies based on what proves most helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins between appointments. They also make it simpler to use homework tools and worksheets in real time. Talk with Stefanie about practical arrangements that will help sessions work within everyday life.
