About Stephanie
Stephanie Traver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, listed as LCSW and LISW, with 11 years of practice. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma, attachment issues, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, codependency, and parenting challenges.
Stephanie focuses on clear, practical work. She helps people notice patterns in their thinking and behavior. Then she and the person build a plan to address those patterns and manage external stresses that affect daily life.
Her approach emphasizes self-reflection and concrete steps. Sessions may include looking at thoughts that get in the way, practicing different ways of responding, and making a support plan to handle long-term concerns. She also assists with parenting needs and issues that arise from blended family situations and caregiving stress.
Stephanie has experience with complex trauma, attachment problems, mood conditions, and addictive behaviors such as gambling. She brings experience helping people regain insight and set practical goals for change. Her work includes attention to grief, anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress.
Clients come for help with everyday coping skills as well as deeper issues tied to relationships and past loss. She supports people who are working to set boundaries, manage overwhelming feelings, or reduce the ways they put others first at their own expense. The focus is on realistic steps that fit a person's life and goals.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify values and take actions that match those values, which can be useful for someone who keeps putting others first.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and emotional responses. It can help people understand why they have trouble with boundaries, codependency, or repeated relationship patterns.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that make sense for those goals. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, attachment work, or another method fits best.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles to what works in remote sessions.
