About Stephanie
Stephanie Ehrlich Seitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, career questions, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and straightforward conversation to reduce the immediate toll of these problems.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Stephanie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness practices are used to build emotion regulation and present-moment attention.
Internal Family Systems is another tool she offers when exploring internal conflicts and the parts that influence behavior. In sessions she helps people notice patterns of control, guilt, shame, or isolation and then practices alternative responses. Work on communication and workplace stress often focuses on skills that can be tried between sessions.
Conversations are practical and grounded. Stephanie encourages short experiments, simple behavior changes, and repeated practice rather than long lectures. She asks about what is going on in daily life and adjusts the plan as needs change.
To begin she guides people through a brief intake and scheduling process. The first appointment reviews immediate concerns and agrees on a few concrete next steps. Follow-up visits track progress and refine the strategies being used.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and try small, value-driven actions despite difficult feelings. Online ACT sessions often include brief exercises and homework to practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and then teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; video or phone sessions can be used to review exercises and plan behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be taught step by step and practiced in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt based on what helps most. That collaborative process means techniques may shift across sessions as needs and priorities become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats are quieter and use less bandwidth, while others allow fuller conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Confirm the exact session options when you schedule so you know which format will be used.
