About Stephanie
Stephanie Blanco is an LCSW with 15 years of clinical experience in California. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and depression. She provides services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Over her career she has spent much time working inside hospitals. She has experience across emergency, trauma, ICU, psychiatric, obstetrics, oncology, and COVID-19 units. That background shaped how she responds in high-pressure moments and with medical-related concerns.
Her approach centers on listening first and following the client’s pace. She uses client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes.
Stephanie also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-focused work helps set small, achievable steps when a quick plan is useful. These methods are mixed depending on the situation and goals.
She has experience supervising social work teams and teaching health education. That experience informs how she sets clear goals and explains the steps of care. Readers who prefer Spanish may choose to speak in that language during sessions.
To begin, a short intake questionnaire and a first session are used to see if her style fits the person seeking support. Costs vary with location and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Stephanie uses common approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The therapist listens and follows the concerns that matter most, which helps with anxiety and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behavior. It helps people try small, practical changes to reduce anxious responses and improve coping.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Stephanie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative step guides whether sessions emphasize skill practice, exploring past patterns, or short-term problem solving.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, manage follow-ups without travel, or use shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to arrange. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt methods like CBT and client-centered work to an online setting to keep progress moving while matching the client’s schedule and needs.
