Stephanie Krawec , LCSW, LISW

Stephanie Krawec brings a compassionate, practical approach to supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, or major life changes. With 10 years of experience, she helps clients who are wrestling with depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and other emotional challenges find clearer footing and a sense of direction.

She works with a wide range of issues including addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and attachment difficulties, commitment and infidelity issues, divorce and separation, substance use, panic and mood disorders, seasonal affective patterns, and challenges common to young adults and midlife transitions. Her practice also addresses concerns such as emptiness, jealousy, narcissistic dynamics, and women's issues, tailoring support to each person's story and goals.

Stephanie holds LCSW and LISW licenses, which are professional credentials for social workers that authorize independent practice. She meets clients where they are, offering encouragement and practical strategies to help them move toward meaningful change, and she draws on client-centered principles along with evidence-informed techniques to support recovery and growth.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Stephanie integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment and building a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore values, choices, and personal goals. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve daily functioning.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation when facing addictions, ambivalence, or readiness challenges. Throughout treatment Stephanie collaborates with clients to determine which approaches fit best - tailoring methods to an individual's needs, preferences, and goals rather than applying a single model.

Online therapy with Stephanie offers flexibility in how sessions happen, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or work while working toward meaningful change.
