About Stephanie
Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings five years of therapy experience and a warm, interactive style to sessions. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish and works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or parenting concerns.
She focuses on practical help that fits everyday life. Sessions aim to clarify problems, build coping skills, and set small, achievable goals. Stephanie uses a mix of approaches so each plan matches the person in front of her.
Her background includes work in community and medical settings where she supported people through crisis intervention and trauma care. She has spent time learning about early childhood development and family dynamics, which informs how she approaches caregiving and attachment issues.
Stephanie lists adoption and foster care among her additional focus areas and she brings that knowledge into conversations about attachment, abandonment, and blended family challenges. She also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, communication problems, and fatherhood issues.
In session she combines Client-Centered techniques with cognitive-behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. That allows for problem-focused skill building alongside supportive, collaborative conversations about what matters most to each person.
Outside of work she enjoys running and participating in mission trips. If someone is ready to take the next step she asks them to complete the matching process and schedule a session so they can begin shaping practical steps toward their goals.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Stephanie often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's priorities and allows sessions to follow what matters most to them. That approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through decisions or emotional struggles.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people learn specific skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Ask the therapist which options she currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people join from different locations when travel is difficult. These practical benefits help therapy fit into day-to-day life without requiring large changes to existing routines.
