About Stephanie
Stephanie Safos-Moriarty is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, relationship strain, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Florida.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core method and blends other approaches to match what a person needs. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to get better results. She also draws on techniques that focus on skills for emotion regulation and motivation when those fit the situation.
Her background includes work with trauma, people involved in the criminal justice system, human trafficking survivors, and those affected by domestic violence. She has experience supporting people with parenting challenges, LGBTQ concerns, grief, and sleep or eating difficulties. Stephanie also has experience with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she helps people set clear, manageable goals and works in a straightforward way to meet them. Practical tools, short skills practice, and focused conversation are common parts of her work. She can help someone who loses their temper, holds resentment, gets frustrated at work, or lives with another person’s anger find steadier responses.
