About Stephanie
California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of clinical experience, Stephanie Andrews helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and sexual abuse.
Stephanie works in a direct, practical way. She focuses on immediate concerns like communication problems, infidelity, and career stress while also addressing family of origin issues and young adult challenges. Sessions are meant to be a place to speak openly about guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Her approach emphasizes clear conversation and steady problem solving. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. When trauma or post-traumatic stress are present, she pays attention to safety and gradual pacing so clients can proceed at a tolerable speed.
Stephanie also addresses sexual assault and sexual behavior related concerns with care and practicality. She helps people sort through feelings, set personal boundaries, and consider steps toward forgiveness when that is a client goal. Work on career-related stress looks at values, next steps, and real-world coping strategies.
People who meet with her can expect guided discussion, practical skills practice, and collaborative planning. The idea is to identify small changes that reduce day-to-day strain and help people move forward toward clearer decisions and steadier relationships.

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote sessions
Stephanie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes skills practice and clear behavioral steps to reduce anxiety and stress; this helps people try new ways of coping in everyday situations. Another approach involves careful processing of trauma in gradual stages, helping clients address past abuse or post-traumatic stress at a measured pace so work can proceed without becoming overwhelming.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each client, review what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and decide collaboratively which techniques to try based on the client’s goals and preferences.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Remote work also lets therapists follow up more quickly on practical tasks and homework between meetings, which supports steady progress without promising specific outcomes.
