About Stephanie
Stephanie Arzavala-Reed is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, and related concerns including blended family issues and parenting. Sessions are practical and focused on real problems people bring from home or work.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide conversations. Expect short-term skills work and problem-solving, alongside space to talk through deeper painful experiences such as trauma, grief, or attachment wounds. Communication problems, intimacy concerns, and loyalty conflicts that come up in blended households are included in her focus areas.
Stephanie helps people set clear goals and build simple steps to reach them. She offers psychoeducation on coping skills, stress reduction, and communication strategies. Therapy conversations often cover decision points like separation, divorce, or shifting household roles without giving legal or custody advice.
Her background includes working with people from the LGBT community, first responder issues, and those managing compassion fatigue or burnout. She brings experience with a range of mood and personality concerns, from bipolar symptoms to avoidant patterns and dissociation.
Clients who choose her can expect a collaborative plan that combines evidence-based techniques and mindful practices. She focuses on usable tools over theory. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process described on the site.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It can help when someone feels stuck between household roles or uncertain about parenting choices in a blended family.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It is useful for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing unhelpful communication habits that affect relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening in a regular plan.
