About Stephanie

Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and parenting concerns. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish. She has worked in community and medical settings and with early childhood and family matters.

Stephanie uses a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. She combines client-centered conversations with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try small changes.

Her background includes work on trauma response and crisis intervention. She has an interest in early childhood development and family dynamics, supported by certifications related to nurturing parenting and infant mental health endorsement. Those experiences inform how she talks about family of origin issues, parenting stress, and attachment concerns.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills people can use between meetings. That might mean working on communication strategies, anger management techniques, grounding and mindfulness practices, or reframing thought patterns with CBT-style work. She also supports people navigating life changes like separation, adoption and foster care issues, or career transitions.

Outside of practice she enjoys running and has taken part in mission trips to Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua. To begin a match with Stephanie, a short questionnaire is completed and then a first session can be scheduled.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy here means conversations that focus on the person’s goals and perspective. Sessions prioritize what the client wants to change and use listening and feedback to guide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. It is practical work that often includes exercises to practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when strong feelings arise.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will review your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you decide whether to focus on skills practice, thought work, mindfulness, or a mix of methods based on what is most helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - some people arrange shorter check-ins, schedule meetings around work hours, or avoid travel time. Online sessions also let therapists use worksheets, guided mindfulness, and in-session role practice in ways that match everyday schedules without promising any particular service.
