Stephanie Mendelson, LISW

Stephanie Mendelson is an LISW with 14 years of clinical experience based in Ohio. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. She also focuses on social anxiety and phobia and issues that often come with transitions into adulthood.

Stephanie uses straightforward methods to help people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions often look at patterns of thinking and behavior, practice new skills, and set small, practical goals. She also works on communication, impulse control, and reducing isolation through concrete strategies rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, and outpatient settings. She has a degree in special education and a history of treating childhood disorders such as ADHD and autism, alongside adult mental health concerns. That mix informs a practical approach to everyday problems.

In therapy she listens, helps clients name their problems, and builds plans to reach clear goals. That can look like problem-solving exercises, behavior-focused practices, or targeted exposure work for feared social situations. Sessions can also include coaching-style guidance for life transitions and financial stress.

People who prefer direct, skill-based work often find her style helpful. She asks about what is most important to the client and adapts next steps based on progress. Sessions are conducted in English and for people in Ohio; international clients are not accepted.
