Stephanie Safos-Moriarty is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and other challenges. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making the first steps feel less daunting.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions.

Stephanie has worked across a range of concerns including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing career changes, ADHD challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity.

In sessions she aims to be genuine and steady, walking alongside clients as they try out strategies between meetings. Expect clear, practical suggestions and a collaborative plan that matches your goals. She emphasizes small, achievable steps rather than overwhelming lists of tasks.

Stephanie practices in Florida and offers services in English. If you are considering therapy, she asks that you complete the site’s matching questionnaire to begin scheduling and to help identify the best fit.

How her approaches translate to online work

Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when reactions feel intense. Motivational Interviewing may be used to boost readiness for change by exploring personal goals and values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will work with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about the exact session options during the matching and scheduling steps so arrangements match your needs and daily routine.
