Stephanie Griffin, LMHC

Stephanie Griffin is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of clinical experience. She aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable, helping people name what they are feeling and take small steps toward change. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.

She focuses on building a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly. That space is used to sort through painful memories, manage strong emotions, and try new ways of coping. Stephanie encourages practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes a range of concerns that commonly appear together, such as attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and effects of separation or loss. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and communication or commitment problems.

Therapeutic methods she uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential conversation, EMDR, and elements of the Gottman Method. These are chosen to match what each person needs in session. Stephanie collaborates with clients to figure out which approaches feel most useful.

Sessions move at a person’s pace. Stephanie aims to help clients notice small shifts, build coping tools, and increase confidence over time. To get started, readers should use the Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How different approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals, helping people feel heard and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust as needed. That means strategies can change over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how the work will fit your schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose options that suit quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections. Licensed professionals can guide a client toward the style and practical setup that best supports their needs.
