Stefanie Kalski, LMHC

Stefanie Kalski is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with five years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Stefanie also works with codependency and related relationship struggles. She speaks English and practices in Florida.

Stefanie approaches sessions believing the client knows their own story. She uses that knowledge alongside practical therapy methods to address day-to-day problems. In sessions she listens for strengths clients already have and helps apply them to current challenges. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, doable changes.

Her work draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values. Attachment-based ideas inform how patterns from early relationships shape current reactions.

Stefanie also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and direction, with the client setting goals. Together these approaches aim to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

Sessions focus on practical tools for setting boundaries, managing anxiety, and handling triggers tied to past trauma. Stefanie encourages steady progress through short, concrete steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
