About Stephanie
Stephanie Griffin is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard and start making changes.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and direct, focused on helping clients feel understood and supported. Stephanie uses practical methods drawn from several approaches to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
She helps people name problems, try small changes, and build new habits that reduce distress. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace and center on what the client needs right now.
She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and difficulties that come after divorce or domestic violence. Stephanie pays attention to how past experiences affect current relationships and daily functioning.
She helps clients develop clearer boundaries and healthier patterns. When trauma is part of the story, she uses approaches that help process painful memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life.
For clients coping with mood challenges or co-occurring conditions, she combines practical skills with a focus on meaning and values. Stephanie aims to meet clients where they are and tailor work to each person's goals.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that fit busy schedules. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once a plan is in place.
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Stephanie integrates methods that focus both on emotion and practical change. The Gottman Method emphasizes improving communication patterns and reducing conflict, which can help with relationship stresses and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering empathic listening and support to help people feel understood and to clarify their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, and it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they select or combine approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the work fits each person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow flexible, brief contacts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
