About Stephanie

Stephanie Safos-Moriarty is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience in Florida.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with other evidence-based methods to create individualized care that addresses stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of life transitions including ADHD-related concerns. Her practice emphasizes a compassionate, genuine stance; she guides clients through change with practical tools and collaborative planning.

Stephanie has worked extensively with issues such as substance use, intimate partner and domestic violence impacts, LGBTQ concerns, parenting and family dynamics, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar conditions. She integrates strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy as appropriate to each person’s needs.

Stephanie encourages taking the first step toward help and frames therapy as a partnership focused on realistic goals and day-to-day coping. Her approach seeks to reduce barriers to progress by tailoring methods to individual preferences and circumstances while supporting clients as they work toward more balanced functioning and improved relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behavior and managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may be incorporated to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns, then tailors a mix of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, or Solution-Focused techniques to fit each person’s needs. The aim is to build skills that translate into daily life while adjusting methods based on client feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when travel or other obligations arise. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, skills-based care and make regular contact possible in ways that suit different communication styles and routines.
