About Stephanie

Stephanie Fredericka is an LCSW practicing in New Jersey who draws on a cognitive behavioral framework alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused perspectives to help clients address a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she emphasizes building supportive therapeutic relationships and creating individualized plans that fit each person’s needs and strengths. Her work often centers on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and the stresses of parenting, career, and relationship difficulties.

She combines practical strategies with reflective exploration, offering a warm, gentle, and nurturing presence as therapy progresses. Stephanie helps clients manage immediate symptoms while also exploring underlying patterns that contribute to long-term change.

She has recently focused on supporting people coping with the collective effects of the COVID period and the adjustments it has required. Prospective clients can expect collaborative, strength-based treatment that begins where they are and moves at a pace that honors their goals and resilience.

Approaches that guide online therapy



Stephanie uses cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused methods to support online clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and small, achievable steps to build momentum and address immediate problems such as stress, parenting concerns, or relationship strains.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then tailor techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. This means sessions can blend skill-building, problem solving, and reflective work as needed to meet short- and longer-term aims.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and varied routines. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different settings, helping clients access practical strategies and emotional support without needing to travel.
