About Stephanie

Stephanie Goossens Alayon meets people where they are and helps them manage stressful life moments. She focuses on easing anxiety, strengthening self-esteem, and guiding people through relationship and family concerns. Stephanie works in English and Spanish and is based in Florida as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

She spent earlier years working with adolescents and young adults and over the last five years has focused on adults. That mix gives her a feel for the issues that follow people into later stages of life.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and goal oriented, with an emphasis on clear skills people can use between meetings. Stephanie draws on approaches that look at how attachment and thinking patterns shape feelings and behavior. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused work to create short-term goals and manageable steps.

Conversations are direct but warm, aiming to make coping tools usable in daily life. Common topics she addresses include abandonment and attachment struggles, communication problems, family of origin issues, and the sense of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people dealing with life purpose questions and the specific stressors that can accompany military or veteran connections.

People can expect a straightforward plan at the start of therapy, then check-ins to adjust that plan. Her style blends skill teaching, talking through patterns, and practical problem-solving to help people move forward.

Online support

Approach and online sessions that fit your life

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who feel stuck in repeating relationship cycles or who struggle with trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for people facing overwhelming stress or communication breakdowns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues when that matters. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option and can be easier during a short break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or skill practice simple between sessions. These formats help people keep progress steady when schedules are busy or travel makes in-person visits difficult.
