About Stephanie
Stephanie Feliciano is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and uses straightforward, compassionate talk to help them find clearer ways forward. She combines talk therapy with attention to emotions and meaning.
Sessions focus on what matters most now - managing strong feelings, improving communication, rebuilding confidence, and coping with change.
Background and approach
Stephanie keeps language plain and practical so parents and busy adults can follow along easily. Her background includes work with people navigating addiction, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with body image, eating issues, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and identity topics such as LGBT concerns.
Stephanie adapts tools to each person rather than using a single formula. Therapeutic methods include Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when it helps clients explore meaning and personal patterns.
These approaches are combined to match each person's goals. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the Start Therapy button.

Online support
Emotion and Action Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting unhelpful emotional patterns so people can feel safer in their reactions and make different choices; it can be useful for anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce distress and change behaviors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and together they will choose methods that fit those needs. She adapts tools over time so sessions stay relevant and focused on measurable progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video helps preserve face-to-face connection, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact, follow up between sessions, and use therapy in more flexible ways.
