About Stephanie
Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions. She aims to create a warm, interactive space where clients can set clear goals and take steady steps forward.
Her background includes work in community and medical settings, and she has focused time on early childhood development and family dynamics. That experience informed certifications such as the Nurturing Parenting Program Certification and the Infant Mental Health Endorsement. She also has hands-on experience with trauma work and crisis intervention.
In session she blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That means she listens closely, helps you notice unhelpful patterns, and supports practical changes you can try between meetings. She uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for managing strong emotions and stress.
Stephanie often helps people dealing with parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment or abandonment worries, and family of origin problems. She also supports those working through career stress, compassion fatigue, or the fallout from separation and divorce.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys running and participating in mission trips. To begin, patients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so clients can name their goals and pace progress. It helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort through family and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete alternative actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want clear tools to practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress. These skills can be helpful during major life transitions, parenting strain, or when grief and anger feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust when something is not working. The plan is shaped together, with an emphasis on small, doable steps.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or choosing audio when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist through the matching process to identify which session rhythm and format will fit your routine.
