About Stephanie
Stephanie Traver is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of practice helping people manage trauma, mood challenges, and life stressors. She practices from New York and draws on a range of therapy styles to match what each person needs. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical change.
Stephanie helps people who face depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addiction concerns, and grief. She also supports those coping with parenting stress, caregiver strain, and attachment-related struggles.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to anger, self-esteem, career worries, and adjustment after major life changes. Her approach starts with clear, honest reflection about thoughts and behaviors. Together with the person, she identifies small, doable steps to shift unhelpful patterns.
She also builds plans to manage ongoing stress and recurring problems rather than offering quick fixes. Stephanie uses techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral methods, and emotionally focused practices to address feelings and behavior. She pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build more effective ways of relating and coping.
She welcomes conversations about practical goals and daily routines that get in the way of feeling better. Stephanie offers a calm, direct style that aims to make therapy useful in real life. If someone wants a therapist who focuses on clear plans and steady progress, she can be a collaborative partner.

Online support
Online therapy that focuses on connection and change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and pick actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making steady life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating. It is often used when attachment patterns or relationship wounds cause repeated conflict or distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, giving space to be heard and understood while the therapist follows the person's lead to clarify goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using acceptance strategies one week and practical behavior steps the next, based on what is most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a full therapy conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break. Live chat and text messaging let someone send updates or get brief support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
