About Stephanie
Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and grief. She speaks English and Spanish and brings five years of clinical experience to her work in Florida. Stephanie aims to create a warm, interactive space where clients can talk through hard moments and build practical skills.
She uses a blend of approaches to meet each person's needs, drawing on client-centered techniques that keep the client's goals at the center. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness tools are woven in to help with emotion regulation and staying grounded in the present.
Her background includes work in community and medical settings, with experience managing trauma, crisis intervention, and early childhood and family dynamics. That experience has informed a focus on parenting stress, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and family of origin problems. She also lists areas such as abandonment, domestic violence, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster among topics she addresses.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies. Stephanie combines motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people find realistic next steps and sustain change. Clients may leave sessions with specific tools for communication, coping with loss, or managing anxiety.
Outside of work she enjoys running and mission trips. She encourages anyone feeling stuck to take the first step and complete the intake process to see if her approach fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Stephanie uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's own goals and priorities, helping clients feel heard and steering the work around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for overwhelming feelings and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She may draw from different approaches over time as situations change and new priorities emerge.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting out travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around a work break, or using phone-based sessions when bandwidth is limited. It also makes it possible to connect with licensed professionals across regions, which helps people keep continuity in care when they move or travel. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to match sessions to your routine and goals.
