About Stephanie
Stephanie Feliciano is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, ADHD, and family of origin issues. She speaks English and Spanish.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on listening first, then identifying small, practical steps to change patterns that keep causing trouble. She blends clinical methods with reflective conversation to help people feel clearer and more able to act.
Stephanie uses client-centered techniques to follow the person’s concerns and pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when relationship feelings are central.
In practice she aims for direct, honest dialogue. People can expect a therapist who listens without judgment and helps name what is getting in the way. Work often includes learning simple skills, trying new behaviors between sessions, and checking what changes are or are not helping.
Her background includes 15 years of clinical work in Illinois settings with adults facing a wide range of concerns. The LCSW credential indicates licensure to practice clinical social work in Illinois. For non-English speakers, some sessions are possible in Spanish. To start, visitors are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s concerns and pace. Online sessions using this stance prioritize listening, reflecting, and helping clients name what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonprescriptive conversation about family patterns and life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying patterns that come from family of origin or daily stress, testing small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on important emotional experiences and relationship feelings. Even when working individually, EFT-informed techniques help clarify attachment-related responses and improve how people manage closeness and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will discuss which methods fit best based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust over time through collaboration. Clients typically decide together whether to emphasize listening, skill practice, or emotion-focused work.
