Stephanie White, LCSW

Stephanie White is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She offers straightforward, practical support for people facing addictions, anger, parenting challenges, and struggles related to LGBT identity. Stephanie works to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and actions that keep problems going and then try small, workable changes. Client-centered work shapes sessions around each person's priorities, so the plan matches what matters most to them. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about change and wants to find their own reasons to move forward.

Stephanie has a background that includes juvenile treatment, addiction services, psychiatric services, special education, and work with Veterans Affairs. That variety informs how she approaches coping skills, relapse prevention, and rebuilding routines after hard episodes.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations often include checking current patterns, setting short experiments to try between visits, and reviewing progress. She pays attention to burnout and compassion fatigue alongside the main concerns people bring.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Scheduling follows the standard match and booking process on the platform, and the subscription can be canceled at any time.

How Stephanie’s Approaches Work Online

CBT helps people see how thoughts affect feelings and actions and focuses on testing small changes that reduce symptoms like low mood, anxiety, or patterns tied to addiction. Client-Centered Therapy makes sessions about what the person says matters most and encourages honest conversations to clarify goals and values. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore mixed feelings about change and build the internal reasons someone wants to take steps forward.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stephanie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to use. That collaborative planning helps shape practical steps and short-term goals that feel doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let a person keep visual connection and read nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging or chat can fit into busy days for quick updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines while focusing on real-life changes.
