Stephanie Wittig

Stephanie Wittig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. She works from the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to face difficult times. Seeking change can feel hard, and she aims to provide steady support while people take that first step.

With six years of counseling experience, Stephanie centers sessions on what matters most to the individual. She uses client-centered methods to listen closely and build a plan that fits each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions.

Mindfulness practices are woven into her approach to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing changes related to addiction or harmful patterns. Her style emphasizes small, doable steps rather than dramatic overhauls.

Stephanie often addresses related issues that come up alongside primary concerns. These include attachment and abandonment experiences, codependency and communication struggles, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence impacts and drug or alcohol addiction.

Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Clients work on specific tools for anger management, coping after trauma, and reducing day-to-day anxiety. Stephanie helps people create actionable plans and practices they can use between sessions.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Stephanie blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online sessions practical and focused. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely and tailors the conversation to what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need concrete skills for strong emotions. DBT offers breathing, grounding, and interpersonal techniques that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together. These methods are often helpful for anger, anxiety, and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or evenings. It also lets clients practice skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
