About Stefani
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience, Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She sees individuals dealing with relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, identity and LGBT issues, mood conditions including bipolar, and life transitions such as divorce or separation.
Stefani uses a conversational, interactive style. Sessions focus on concrete goals and practical steps. She combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused planning. Motivational interviewing appears in work around change, and hypnotherapy has been used for smoking cessation and weight management when appropriate.
In a typical session she talks through what’s most pressing, identifies patterns that get in the way, and helps the person try different coping strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to examine thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals and track progress.
Clients can expect collaborative planning rather than long lectures. Stefani adapts conversations to each person’s situation and pace. She pays attention to communication problems, codependency dynamics, seasonal affective patterns, and social anxiety as specific targets for change.
Her background includes many years working in Pennsylvania counseling settings. She works in English. Practical matters such as fees and session arrangements use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In practice this means the therapist gives space for the client to describe their situation and then helps prioritize what to address next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing specific coping or behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Hypnotherapy is a guided relaxation and suggestion method sometimes used for behavior change, such as smoking cessation or weight-related goals; it is applied when a client and therapist agree this approach fits their plan.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person’s needs and goals, and may combine elements from different approaches as the work progresses. Clients and the therapist review what is working and adjust techniques together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because they cut travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also require less bandwidth or do not need video, which can help on days when a quieter or less visual option is preferable. Licensed professionals adapt session pacing and tools to the constraints of remote work while focusing on practical steps and goal tracking.
