About Stephanie
Stephanie Griffin is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. She brings ten years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and low self-esteem. She uses a calm, straightforward approach so people can talk without feeling judged.
In sessions she focuses on what matters most to each person. She listens first, and then offers practical tools that match the situation. Those tools can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and EMDR for processing traumatic memories.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered and existential approaches when exploring values, meaning, and personal goals. That often helps people who feel stuck after loss, relationship changes, or big life transitions. The work aims to build clearer choices and steadier emotional responses.
Stephanie has supported people dealing with a range of specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and the effects of domestic violence or divorce. She tailors interventions to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.
Sessions may include short skills practice, guided reflection, and paced processing of difficult memories when appropriate. The overall goal is to help people reduce overwhelming feelings, improve day-to-day functioning, and make decisions that fit their values.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead to build trust and clarify goals; it helps people who need a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, offers a structured way to work through traumatic memories when those memories keep causing distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those needs. Decisions are made together so the plan reflects what actually helps you in daily life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy routines.
