About Stephanie
Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience, Stephanie Safos-Moriarty focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address practical problems and symptoms. Stephanie conducts sessions in English and practices in Florida.
Stephanie helps people who are coping with grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career pressures, bipolar disorder challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating LGBT concerns and recovery from abuse or trauma. Her work includes addressing substance use and related life impacts.
Her style centers on clear, goal-oriented methods. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. DBT skills are applied for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when clients face ambivalence about change, and Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps forward.
Stephanie brings a decade-plus of varied clinical settings experience to sessions. That background informs straightforward strategies for common problems like anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. She uses techniques that can be practiced between meetings so progress continues outside the session time.
Sessions begin with a brief assessment of immediate concerns and goals. From there she and the client choose approaches that match needs and preferences. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote work that looks like setting small experiments between sessions and reviewing results together. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing reactive behaviors. Through video or phone check-ins clients can learn distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills and practice them between appointments. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by clarifying values and building internal motivation.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist reviews a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggests one or a mix of methods. Adjustments are made over time based on what works in practice.
The original biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote work to deliver the same structured exercises, skill coaching, and progress reviews used in in-person care.
