About Stephanie
Stephanie Hrit is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Michigan and practices with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking when emotions run high. Stephanie draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thought patterns and on dialectical behavior ideas to build coping skills for strong feelings.
Her work also includes client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s perspective. That means listening for what matters to each person and adjusting the approach as needed. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention back to the present moment when worries or past hurt become overwhelming.
Stephanie has seen people who struggle with codependency, caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, body image concerns, abandonment fears, and the effects of domestic violence or separation. She also works with people affected by personality-related difficulties and disruptive mood presentations.
She keeps the plan practical. Expect to practice specific coping strategies between sessions and to review what helps and what doesn’t. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's perspective and shaping the sessions around what they find most important. It helps when someone wants to talk through relationship patterns, feelings of emptiness, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It teaches practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms over time.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings or who want strategies for steadier reactions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is reviewed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten some check-ins, avoid travel time, or use formats that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can help arrange a session structure that fits daily life and treatment goals.
