About Stephanie
Stephanie Berlin is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She also supports people navigating ADHD, grief, self-esteem concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and family-related issues including blended family issues.
Stephanie approaches sessions with clear, direct conversation. She focuses on practical steps and straightforward talk. Clients can expect help sorting thoughts, naming problems, and planning manageable next steps.
Her practice includes wider concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and family of origin problems. She also addresses eating and body image struggles, chronic illness and pain, and co-occurring conditions. The work often combines real-life problem solving with attention to emotional patterns.
Stephanie aims to keep sessions focused and goal-oriented. She listens for patterns that make life harder and helps people test small changes. This can include building new routines, practicing communication skills, and managing strong emotions like anger or impulsivity.
People who come for help with blended household challenges - for example becoming a stepparent, merging routines, or negotiating loyalties - will find an emphasis on practical coping and clearer communication. Her style is conversational and action-focused, designed to fit into busy lives and immediate concerns.
Approach and online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity, such as practical grounding, breathing, and step-by-step coping plans. These methods are concrete and aimed at everyday problems like stress, anger, and mood shifts.Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques are adjusted as progress is made.
