About Stephanie
Stephanie Safos-Moriarty is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She blends evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, substance-related issues, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and a range of intimacy and self-esteem challenges.
Background and approach
Her practice also includes work related to ADHD, bipolar concerns, parenting struggles, eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue, and career-related adjustment. Clients can expect a direct but compassionate clinician who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside additional approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.
Stephanie emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical skills and strategies for coping with life transitions, reducing symptoms, and improving communication in relationships. She has worked across settings with individuals and couples, and brings a straightforward, supportive presence to the therapeutic process.
Stephanie frames therapy as a partnership focused on achievable change, offering guidance and tools while respecting each client’s pace. She welcomes the opportunity to work with people seeking help navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges and supports measurable steps toward healthier functioning.
Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as core tools in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. DBT emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness, useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and patterns of self-destructive behavior.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Stephanie approaches that choice collaboratively. She will discuss client goals, preferences, and current challenges to determine which methods or combination of methods are likely to be most helpful, and she adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Stephanie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work while relocating within the region, and use modes of communication that feel most comfortable for practicing skills between sessions.
