About Stephanie

Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, parenting stress, and issues that trace back to the family they grew up in. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

She draws on experience from community and medical settings to help people manage immediate crises and everyday struggles. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, such as behavior changes, communication strategies, and short-term coping skills. Stephanie uses straightforward conversation to clarify what is getting in the way and what can change next.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix supports work on thoughts, emotions, and patterns that started in childhood or in family relationships. Therapy can include skills practice, goal setting, and examining recurring family roles or expectations.

Stephanie also has experience with grief, trauma and abuse, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. She has worked with crisis intervention and with early childhood development topics. These experiences inform how she notices patterns and helps people shift them.

Outside of work she enjoys running and participating in mission trips. To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy is about focusing on the person’s goals and reflecting what matters most to them. It supports people who want a nonjudgmental conversation about how their family history affects current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and recurrent patterns from childhood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can reduce intense reactions and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjust the plan as needed, and work toward clear, manageable goals together. That way sessions focus on what matters most and move at a pace that fits the person.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in their daily routines and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
