About Stephanie
Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or family challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Stephanie draws on work in community and medical settings. That background includes time supporting early childhood and family-focused programs, and she lists experience with crisis intervention and trauma work. She also notes involvement with parenting programs and infant mental health efforts as part of her practice history.
Her approach mixes client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior strategies. She also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing depending on what a person needs. In practice this means a focus on clear goals, skills to manage emotions, and steps to change unhelpful patterns.
People often come to her for family issues, blended family concerns, communication problems, or parenting strain after separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, caregiver stress, and recovery from domestic violence or other trauma. Sessions aim to address day-to-day coping and longer-term patterns.
Stephanie describes her style as interactive and hands-on. She works with each person to build a plan they can practise between sessions. Outside the office she runs and takes part in mission trips, experiences she says inform her work with communities and families.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps and exercises that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress related to family conflict or life changes.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques are useful when strong emotions, anger, or intense relationship patterns get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest methods and adjust them as needed so therapy fits the person’s situation. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about language options, scheduling across time zones for international clients, and any preferences for video or audio so sessions match daily life.
