About Stephanie
Stephanie Krawec, LCSW, LISW, is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience based in Kentucky. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship concerns, trauma and related issues. She also supports those coping with mood disorders, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Stephanie uses straightforward, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions are practical and oriented toward problem solving and small behavior changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered conversation and motivational interviewing techniques.
People often come for help when daily tasks feel overwhelming or when substance use has become difficult to control. Stephanie talks through what is getting in the way, helps set clear short-term goals, and works on steps that fit into everyday life. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when they matter to the problem at hand.
Her style is direct and work-focused. Sessions can include skills practice, brief experiments between meetings, and review of progress toward goals. She encourages realistic, manageable steps rather than big, immediate shifts.
Stephanie’s background includes ten years of clinical practice and social work licensure in Ohio and Kentucky. She offers support for issues like panic attacks, bipolar mood concerns, infidelity and commitment worries, seasonal mood shifts, and challenges common to young adults and women navigating life changes.
How Stephanie uses CBT and motivational approaches online
Stephanie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that increase stress or anxiety. CBT sessions tend to include tracking patterns, testing new responses, and setting short experiments between meetings to see what works.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build readiness, especially around substance use or behavioral shifts. Client-Centered Therapy informs the way she listens and follows the client’s priorities during each meeting, focusing on what the person wants to address first.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will discuss options and develop a plan that reflects the client’s goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed formula.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only meetings when that suits them better or rely on video when visual cues are helpful.
