About Stephanie

Stephanie Feliciano is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and issues such as grief, addiction, and parenting concerns. Stephanie works with people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of attachment and intimacy-related worries.

Her style is straightforward and conversational. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce distress and try different ways of responding to problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.

Stephanie also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas appear when relationship patterns and emotional responses are the main concern. She may use existential and Jungian perspectives to explore meaning, values, and deeper life questions when those topics come up.

Sessions are conversational and task-oriented. Clients can expect to set goals, practice skills between meetings, and review progress. The focus is on small, concrete changes that add up over time.

She offers services in English and Spanish and works from Illinois. Before booking, prospective clients are asked to confirm the current session options and scheduling process through the site’s matching and scheduling steps.

How Stephanie applies therapeutic approaches in online work

Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice skills between meetings and address symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behavior patterns.

She also uses client-centered methods which prioritize listening and reflecting what matters to the client. That approach supports people who need space to clarify values and goals. When relationship patterns or emotional expression are central concerns, Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on how people respond to one another and to strong feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This is a shared process where feedback guides what comes next.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday or lunch break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid commute time. Discuss scheduling and format details during the matching and booking steps to pick what works best.
