More about Stephanie

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience supporting clients through life's most challenging moments. I specialize in working with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, relationship concerns, and LGBTQ+ related issues. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and trauma-focused interventions, while also incorporating body-based and mindfulness techniques to support healing on multiple levels.

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and accepted. My goal is to create an open, safe space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I approach our work together as a collaboration—you are the expert on your own life, and I'm here to walk alongside you with tools, insights, and genuine support. Whether you're working through past trauma, navigating identity questions, managing difficult relationships, or simply feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, I'm committed to meeting you where you are with compassion and authenticity.

Taking the first step toward therapy requires real courage, and I want you to know that I'm proud of you for getting started. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. I look forward to the possibility of working together on your journey toward healing and growth.

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.
