About Stephanie
Stephanie Hrit is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes as core concerns she addresses.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions often include checking what feels most urgent, setting small goals, and trying techniques that can help day to day. She adapts how she talks and plans work based on each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Her background includes work across settings where people faced trauma, relationship strain, and major life transitions. That experience informs how she helps people manage strong emotions and regain a sense of control after difficult events. She also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, and adjustment after separation or divorce.
Stephanie uses several clinical approaches to guide sessions. These include Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful dialogue, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation. Mindfulness exercises and Motivational Interviewing techniques are added when they match the client’s goals.
Practical matters are discussed up front, including how sessions will be organized, how progress will be tracked, and how the subscription-based payment works. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
The way Stephanie works draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful, person-led conversation and helps people clarify what matters most to them. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflicts.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on current problems, goals, and what feels manageable. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when life is busy. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real situations from daily life into discussion. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework so sessions can be useful even when schedules are tight.
