About Stephanie
Stephanie Nash is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the District of Columbia and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 29 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness strategies are used to practice present-moment noticing and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals and track progress from session to session.
Stephanie emphasizes a strengths-based way of working. That means identifying what already works for a person and building on those skills. She also brings a trauma-informed perspective when past hurt affects current problems.
In sessions she talks through current challenges, tests new ways of responding, and sets clear, measurable goals. Work can include skill practice between meetings and checking what strategies are helping in daily life.
Her practice covers a broad range of issues including bipolar and ADHD-related concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and young adult issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods work online
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and step-by-step change for issues like anxiety, mood concerns, and problematic habits. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of thoughts and feelings, which can be helpful for stress and trauma-related symptoms.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, reachable goals and what a person wants to do differently. Sessions often include setting one or two concrete steps to try between meetings and reviewing what worked. Together these approaches give clear behavioral strategies, short experiments, and measurable goals.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking results, and adjusting the plan when necessary.
