About Stephanie
Stephanie Engel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and related challenges.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions often look at thinking patterns, daily routines, and moments that increase stress or isolation. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help people notice difficult thoughts and test small changes.
Work around motivation and confidence is goal-oriented. She uses elements of motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to set short, achievable steps. These steps are meant to reduce overwhelm and build momentum on things that matter in day-to-day life.
When chronic illness, caregiving, or aging are part of the picture, Stephanie focuses on pragmatic coping and communication strategies. She also addresses guilt, shame, impulsivity, and social anxiety in concrete ways that can be tried between sessions.
Her approach is plain and practical. Sessions are a place to talk through problems, plan small changes, and track what helps. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them, then choosing actions that fit personal values. That approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can support ongoing stress and chronic illness management.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
The original biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices learned in session in their daily settings. Therapists and licensed professionals will help select a session style that matches practical needs and goals.
