About Stephanie
Stephanie Blanco helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and depression. She greets clients in English and Spanish and draws on 15 years of clinical experience. Stephanie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW practicing from California and brings practical, calm support to each conversation.
She keeps sessions focused and straightforward. Stephanie listens first, then helps set small, clear goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered techniques to build useful skills for daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through patterns, testing new behaviors, and checking what works. Her background includes extensive work in hospital settings. That work ranged from emergency and trauma units to oncology and mother-baby care.
Stephanie also managed a social work department and has supervised and trained other social workers. That hands-on hospital experience informs how she responds in high-stress situations. Stephanie holds two master's degrees and maintains her California LCSW license.
She blends practical problem-solving with attention to emotions beneath the surface. When needed, she brings psychodynamic ideas into the conversation to understand long-standing patterns. Clients describe her style as warm and direct.
She aims to help people build coping skills that fit their real life. If someone wants short-term problem solving or a deeper look at life history, she adapts the pace and focus to the person’s needs.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Stephanie draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps with building trust and clarifying goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That collaborative decision helps set a clear plan and lets adjustments be made as progress is tracked.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when a quieter connection or less bandwidth is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging offer quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can keep momentum while juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
