About Stephanie
Stephanie Griffin is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversations to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on naming what is happening, noticing patterns, and trying practical steps to reduce distress. She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients test new ways of thinking and behaving.
When trauma is part of the story, she may use approaches designed to lessen the ongoing intensity of memories and reactions. She also brings existential ideas into work about life direction, meaning, and making choices under pressure. These methods are combined with practical problem-solving for school, work, and relationship stresses.
Clients can expect clear explanations of each step and simple goals to track between sessions. Stephanie emphasizes collaboration and direct feedback rather than long lectures or unclear exercises. This keeps sessions focused on what a person wants to change now.
Her practice serves English-speaking adults in Florida. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Stephanie’s approaches work for online sessions
Stephanie often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s concerns, helping them reflect on what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, then tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.When trauma is present, she may use EMDR approaches to reduce the intensity of painful memories. EMDR involves focused attention and processing of memories to ease strong reactions and support safer day-to-day functioning. These approaches can help with stress, grief, and trauma-related symptoms while also addressing practical life problems.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful. That means sessions can change over time as priorities and circumstances shift.
The practice’s session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into school or work schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a busy day. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep work consistent with a client’s daily life.
