About Stephanie

Stephanie Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with a decade of clinical experience. She has provided care for people facing a wide range of concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, substance use challenges, trauma and abuse, and neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with clients navigating grief, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and major life transitions. Her therapeutic manner is warm, respectful, and collaborative, focusing on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation.

Stephanie draws on evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and motivational interviewing to address symptoms, build coping strategies, and support meaningful change. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to empower clients who are ready to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Stephanie welcomes those seeking practical tools and steady support during challenging periods. She emphasizes a compassionate, individualized approach and works with clients to set goals that reflect their values and everyday realities.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Stephanie uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this practical method is often applied to anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for impulsivity, emotional regulation, and relationship difficulties. Motivational interviewing complements these methods by supporting clients' own reasons for change and strengthening commitment when facing ambivalence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time, inviting feedback and adjustments so the work stays relevant and effective for the client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, continue care during transitions, and access consistent support without geographic travel. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver structured, goal-oriented work while honoring each client's practical needs.
