About Stephanie
Stephanie Mew is a licensed marriage and family therapist with seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at building confidence, easing mood struggles, and reducing the drain of compassion fatigue. Stephanie creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
She centers conversations on clients' goals and helps them find what feels doable. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs.
Her approach draws from several methods, including the Gottman Method, cognitive behavioral therapy, and client-centered techniques. This mix lets her offer both short-term strategies and deeper relational work when needed.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used to support behavior change and increase self-awareness. In sessions she breaks down problems into small, manageable steps.
Clients leave with homework or small experiments to try between meetings. Progress is tracked so adjustments can be made as life changes.
Stephanie practices in California and conducts sessions in English. She supports people who want to feel more confident, manage mood and anxiety, and find steadier ways to cope with stress and change.
Practical approaches for online therapy and relationship work
Stephanie blends the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit online care. The Gottman Method focuses on communication habits and rebuilding connection through actionable skills, which can be practiced during and between sessions. Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first, offering a supportive space to talk and be heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises to try between meetings.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Stephanie works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, whether the priority is managing anxiety, improving self-esteem, or changing daily routines. She adjusts techniques over time based on what feels most helpful and feasible for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats support brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to maintain alongside work, family, and other commitments.
