About Stephanie

Stephanie Kinsey is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She brings five years of clinical experience and a background working in healthcare and school settings, which inform a practical understanding of how life demands intersect with emotional well-being. Her style centers on a client-focused collaboration that treats each person as the expert on their own life while offering structured tools and guidance.

She combines evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help clients build coping skills, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and take achievable steps toward their goals. Sessions emphasize compassion, clear problem-solving, and strengthening existing strengths.

Stephanie creates a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where exploration and skill-building happen side by side. New clients can expect the first meeting to clarify concerns, set goals, and begin developing practical strategies for managing symptoms and life transitions.

She practices in Washington and offers services in English.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Stephanie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online care in practical, accessible ways. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress management skills to help clients respond to difficult emotions with greater calm and clarity, supporting coping during life transitions and relationship strain.

Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan as needed so treatment fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Washington without commuting, and they support ongoing skill practice and check-ins between live conversations.
