About Stephanie
Stephanie Fredericka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. Sessions also address relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, addictions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her main approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with elements of psychodynamic and solution-focused work. She uses practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She also talks about background and relationships when that helps make sense of current problems.
Stephanie describes therapy as collaborative and problem-focused. She helps people set short-term goals and tracks progress in straightforward ways. That can include working on sleep, eating, self-esteem, or handling frustration without losing control.
Her background includes a decade of clinical work across community and clinical settings in New Jersey. Stephanie has experience supporting people through trauma, mood disorders, and the stresses that followed the Covid period. She brings that caseload experience into one-on-one sessions.
In practical terms, Stephanie asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches shape online work
Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety, then practices alternative responses. Psychodynamic work is used to look at how past relationships and patterns influence present reactions and recurring frustration. Solution-Focused Therapy is applied to set achievable short-term goals and try practical changes that fit into daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide what to try first, adjusts methods based on how someone responds, and revisits goals as needed. That means sessions can focus on skill-building one week and on understanding a pattern the next.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people balance talking work with exercises to practice between sessions, so therapy can fit around busy schedules rather than replace them.
