Remote care using collaborative, evidence-informed methods
Stephanie offers online sessions that draw on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to match different needs and goals. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for clients to lead the conversation while the clinician reflects and supports exploration of values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and can be used to develop practical strategies for managing mood and impulse-related challenges. Motivational Interviewing helps clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change when facing issues such as substance use or behavior change.
Her remote practice is designed for collaborative work: she and the client identify goals together and choose interventions that fit the client’s preferences and circumstances. Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people connect and continue between meetings.
Clients and clinician decide together how to combine these approaches over time, tailoring session focus and pacing to the matters brought to therapy.
