About Stephanie

Stephanie Nash is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience offering practical, strengths-based support to people managing stress, mood concerns, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. She brings a calm, collaborative stance that helps clients clarify priorities, explore coping strategies, and set achievable goals.

Background and approach

Her work often blends cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused techniques and mindfulness practices to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar conditions, ADHD, grief, and caregiving stress. Working from the District of Columbia, Stephanie emphasizes respect for each person’s perspective and tailors the therapeutic plan to individual needs.

She aims to help clients identify useful patterns, build resilience, and develop clearer communication in personal and work relationships. With LICSW, MD, and LCSW-C credentials and 29 years of practice, she draws on extensive clinical experience to support people facing parenting challenges, intimacy issues, career concerns, and LGBT-related matters.

Stephanie invites clients who are ready to take a thoughtful next step toward well-being. She frames therapy as a cooperative process in which insight, practical skills, and client strengths are combined to create meaningful change.

Integrating CBT and Mindfulness for Remote Care

Stephanie uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this practical approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy is offered to cultivate moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with trauma responses, grief, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to consider their goals, strengths, and preferences and may combine elements of CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to fit the client’s needs. This joint planning helps tailor therapeutic techniques and set clear, achievable steps toward improvement.

Online care is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These formats make it easier to access therapy from the District of Columbia and to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. The variety of options supports ongoing skill practice and convenient check-ins between sessions.
