About Stephanie
Stephanie Feliciano is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, codependency, grief, trauma and addiction. Stephanie also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career pressure, ADHD, bipolar and eating issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Stephanie keeps sessions direct and conversational. She listens and talks things through so clients can see options more clearly. She aims to help people feel less overwhelmed and more able to make decisions that suit them.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused work. She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when clients want to look at meaning and life themes. That mix helps when the problem is both emotional and practical, for example when worry affects work or relationships.
People who struggle with people-pleasing or trouble saying no can expect help naming patterns and practicing small changes. For someone living around another person’s moods or drinking, she focuses on what the client can control and on clearer boundaries. Therapy can include talking, skill practice, and straightforward feedback.
Her style is friendly and honest. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people who need a clear, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decide what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood issues, and patterns like people-pleasing that lead to stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people name and respond to feelings in different ways. It can be helpful when intimacy, attachment, or repeated conflict are part of the issue.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and she treats it as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches that feel like a fit. Adjustments are made as progress is assessed.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings are run. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, sessions during breaks, or not needing travel time. It also lets clients continue work when schedules or location make in-person visits difficult. The practical aim is to make therapy manageable and useful alongside daily responsibilities.
