About Stephanie
Stephanie Engel is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of experience helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and major life changes. She aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, approachable presence.
In sessions she encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings. She creates a space where people can talk without judgment and begin to sort out what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She works with practical tools and everyday language so ideas are easy to use outside the session. Her work often focuses on building skills to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety. She helps people improve motivation and confidence, and she supports those facing caregiving demands, chronic illness, or aging concerns.
She also addresses loneliness, communication problems, guilt, and midlife stress. Stephanie uses evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and goal-focused problem solving. These approaches help people notice thoughts, change unhelpful patterns, and set clear, achievable actions.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Stephanie emphasizes collaboration - clients and she set goals together and pick strategies that fit each person’s life.

Online support
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose or combine methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief updates, problem solving between visits, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health demands.
