About Stephanie
LCSW licensed in California with 19 years of experience, Stephanie Stoddart helps people address self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on adoption and foster care, communication problems, narcissism, self-love, and women's issues. Sessions are conducted in English. Stephanie asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin work together.
Stephanie uses clear, practical talk in sessions. She pays attention to how thoughts shape behavior and helps people build confidence and motivation. Conversations are client-centered and aim to identify small, manageable steps that make daily life easier.
Her methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Stephanie draws on these approaches to help people set goals, test new behaviors, and change unhelpful thought patterns. She keeps explanations plain and actionable so clients can try things between sessions.
Stephanie has worked in many settings over her career, including care involving foster and adoptive situations and people who have been incarcerated. That background informs her practical approach to communication and coping skills. She structures sessions around the concerns people bring and tracks progress against specific goals.

How Stephanie uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood while they decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable pieces and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The client and therapist work together to decide which methods to use and how to measure progress.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or an appointment that avoids travel time. It can also allow sessions without video when that reduces bandwidth or feels more comfortable for the client.
