Stephanie Goossens Alayon, LCSW

Stephanie Goossens Alayon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish and draws on multiple therapy methods to help people manage everyday pressure.

She previously worked with adolescents and young adults and has moved to a caseload of diverse adult clients over the last five years. Her practice addresses problems that come from family of origin, attachment patterns, abandonment, and communication breakdowns. She also helps people dealing with emptiness, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Stephanie uses practical, skills-based work in sessions. That includes cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, mindfulness practices to regulate emotion, and attachment-focused conversation to understand relationship patterns. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and build small, usable changes.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings. She helps clients learn coping tools for stress and anxiety, practices for improving communication, and techniques to notice and shift patterns that keep them stuck. Stephanie can offer support around forgiveness, self-love, somatic responses to stress, and concerns linked to military service.

People who choose her often want practical strategies they can use right away. To start, she asks about current struggles, day-to-day routines, and what goals feel most important. That helps shape a plan that fits a person's life and responsibilities.
