About Stephanie
Stephanie Fredericka is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem issues, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach and also draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused methods. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try small changes, and track what works. The emphasis is on practical steps and regular check-ins rather than theory alone.
Stephanie commonly helps people manage symptoms of mood and anxiety conditions, move through grief and trauma reactions, and address difficulties with attention or motivation. She also supports those wrestling with substance use and compassion fatigue, and she helps parents with the stresses that come from raising children.
Her style balances exploring past patterns with setting clear, short-term goals. That can mean working on thought records, behavioral experiments, or focused problem-solving tasks between sessions. She and the client pick the tools that fit the client's immediate goals.
Sessions take a straightforward, paced approach. Clients can expect collaborative planning, measurable steps, and regular review of progress. Sessions are offered in English and based in New Jersey.
How her CBT, psychodynamic and solution-focused work translates to online sessions
Online work with Stephanie centers on methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused techniques. CBT in practice looks at specific thoughts and actions, then tests small changes to see if they lead to different feelings or outcomes. Psychodynamic ideas help identify recurring patterns that come from past relationships and how those patterns show up now. Solution-focused work zeroes in on concrete goals and next steps you can try between sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide whether to focus on thought and behavior changes, explore longer-standing patterns, or set short-term targets to solve immediate problems.
The practical benefits of online sessions are that therapy can be scheduled to fit into busy days and can reduce travel time and logistical barriers. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Sessions aim to fit into daily life through shorter check-ins when needed, homework or brief experiments between meetings, and straightforward scheduling that supports regular progress.
