About Stephanie

Stephanie Kujawa is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience in mental health care. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work centers on practical support and steady guidance during difficult moments.

She favors a warm, interactive style that treats people with respect and compassion. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life problems. Stephanie avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to make therapy approachable and down-to-earth.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going, such as unhelpful thinking or communication habits. Then she and the client try small, manageable changes to those patterns. That can mean learning new ways to handle panic, improving communication, or coping with caregiver stress.

Stephanie has worked with people facing relationship strain, divorce and separation, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image struggles, and the mood shifts of seasonal affective disorder. She also supports people dealing with money stress, isolation, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and panic attacks. Therapy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist's availability. Her practice is based in Illinois and sessions are offered in English. Stephanie aims to help people build everyday skills they can use between sessions.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Stephanie uses evidence-based techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying negative thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting; this can help with anxiety, panic, and low mood. Dialectical ideas emphasize balancing acceptance and change, and they can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps match tools to the problem and the person's preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, quick coaching, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to maintain steady contact between sessions.
