About Stephanie

Stephanie Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience based in North Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and other life changes. Stephanie aims to make the first step feel manageable and direct.

She keeps sessions warm and respectful. Conversations focus on practical steps and small shifts that people can try between meetings. Stephanie adapts the pace to what a person needs and checks in about what is and isn’t helping.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse and supporting people dealing with substance use and mood concerns. That experience informs how she frames safety, boundaries, and coping tools in simple terms. She draws on problem-solving techniques that focus on current life problems.

Stephanie uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior tools to manage strong emotions, and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change. These methods are offered in ways that match a person’s goals and comfort level. People usually leave sessions with one or two practical strategies to try.

Over time, the focus can shift from short-term coping to clearer plans for relationships, work, or everyday routine. Stephanie emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Stephanie uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving. That method often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by breaking problems into small, practical steps. She also uses dialectical behavior tools to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. Those skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication repeatedly causes conflict. Motivational interviewing is used to support people who feel unsure about change; it focuses on the person’s own reasons and strengths. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will talk with each person about their goals, past attempts, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match daily rhythms. Video is good for deeper conversations and working through exercises, phone can be a simpler check-in with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or text works well for brief updates, accountability, or mid-week coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
