About Stefani
Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem. She also addresses mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and matters linked to LGBT identity and life changes.
Stefani uses straightforward, interactive conversations in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people name patterns and try practical changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone wants to change behaviors like smoking or habits that feel stuck.
She has used hypnotherapy with clients who wanted help quitting smoking and losing weight. Sessions aim to be collaborative - she listens and then offers exercises, thought tools, or brief experiments to practice between meetings. Work often covers setting boundaries, improving communication, and managing emotions without shaming or blaming.
Stefani frames therapy as step-by-step problem solving. She helps people clarify goals, test small changes, and track what helps in daily life. That practical focus suits someone who keeps putting others first and wants clearer ways to speak up, set limits, or stop reacting out of habit.
Her experience spans many common life stressors, including seasonal affective changes and social anxiety. People who prefer direct conversation and concrete skills tend to do well with her style.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client steers the conversation; it helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors with short exercises; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns like people-pleasing. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on a person's own reasons for change and helps build readiness for steps like quitting smoking or changing relationship habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they can adjust the mix of conversation, skill practice, or brief experiments until something feels useful.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often use video for face-to-face conversation or phone for a quieter check-in, and those choices help people keep therapy practical alongside daily responsibilities.
