About Stephanie

Stephanie Van Ingen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with two decades of experience supporting people across the lifespan. She approaches therapy as a developmentalist, viewing each person’s current concerns in the context of their life story and past experiences.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses a broad range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, family dynamics, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Stephanie favors an eclectic, evidence-informed style that adapts to each client’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

She integrates elements from person-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical skills, trauma-focused strategies, interpersonal neurobiology, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused techniques, and dyadic developmental concepts to tailor treatment.

Stephanie has worked with clients from age 2 through 80 in outpatient and inpatient settings, schools, hospitals, residential programs, and treatment facilities, and she prioritizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

Clients connect with her through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she aims to collaborate on goals and strategies while communicating in the ways that work best for each person.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie integrates a few well-established therapeutic approaches to address common clinical concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that often help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and coping with crisis. Trauma-focused techniques include strategies to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact while supporting safety and stabilization.

Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to learn about their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and then tailors a mix of techniques that fit those needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent contact, practice skills between sessions, and choose the communication style that best supports progress.
