About Stephanie

Stephanie Griffin is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression, and helps people manage those concerns in everyday life.

She emphasizes a clear, person-focused way of working. Sessions are a place to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Stephanie aims to help people notice patterns that make social situations or day-to-day stresses harder and to try new, practical ways of coping.

Her approach draws on several established methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice small behavioral steps. Client-Centered Therapy guides conversations so the person leads what matters most in their life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is among her tools for working with traumatic memories when that fits a client's needs.

Stephanie also supports people dealing with complex life events such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, divorce and domestic violence. She pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect relationships and daily functioning.

She works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Practical details such as session scheduling and the platform for first meetings are handled when someone selects the online therapy options and completes the short matching questionnaire.

How Stephanie integrates approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities, with the therapist following what the client finds most important and shaping sessions around those topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses step-by-step exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method that can be used for processing traumatic memories when a client and therapist agree it fits the goals.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Stephanie treats approach selection as a collaboration and adjusts methods to match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together and checks in about how techniques are working as sessions continue.

Confirm the session formats available before booking since the original biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter or more frequent check-ins, and making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises or client-led conversations for online sessions, and EMDR may be discussed as an option when appropriate and agreed on in advance.
