About Stephanie

Stephanie Tumba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She works with those facing depression, major life changes, relationship and family concerns, and difficulties with sleep or grief. Stephanie presents a calm, respectful approach and encourages practical steps toward feeling better.

She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can practice between meetings, and honest feedback. Stephanie aims to make therapy straightforward so people can try new ways of coping without jargon.

Her work draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. Those methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking, build healthy routines, and increase tolerance for strong emotions. She also uses techniques from motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change.

With seven years of experience and the LMHC credential, Stephanie blends direct skill teaching with supportive coaching. She often helps people who are dealing with compassion fatigue, addiction struggles, ADHD, or adjustment issues. Her focus on respect and sensitivity shapes how she listens and responds.

People who come for help can expect a mix of practical tools and steady encouragement. Stephanie invites clients to set the pace and to try strategies that fit into daily life. She supports each person’s effort to build more balance and to reduce the impact of anger, stress, and overwhelm.

How ACT, CBT, DBT and online work together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values-based action, which can help when anger or life changes make decisions hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reactions. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel intense.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - goals can change as someone learns what works and what doesn’t.

The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins on difficult days. It can also let people use short, focused meetings when needed and build skills between sessions to handle anger, stress, and other challenges.
