Stephanie Griffin

Stephanie Griffin is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression, and she helps people facing related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and difficulties after divorce or separation.

She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Stephanie listens to what matters most and helps people talk through painful memories, painful losses, or recurring worries. She uses practical steps from cognitive behavioral ideas alongside person-centered conversations to make thoughts and feelings easier to manage.

Her background includes work with trauma-related concerns and grief, using EMDR where appropriate to address distressing memories. She also draws on existential ideas to help people consider meaning and next steps when life feels uncertain. The Gottman Method appears in her toolkit for clients dealing with relationship communication problems.

Stephanie aims to help people notice patterns that get in the way and try small experiments to shift them. Sessions often move between exploring feelings, practicing new ways of thinking, and planning concrete next steps. That mix is intended to help people regain a sense of direction when life feels stuck.

She practices in Florida and works in English. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone shares. It helps when a person needs to name feelings and feel understood before deciding what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small practical exercises to shift painful patterns. That approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress.

EMDR is used to address distressing memories by working with how those memories are held in the body and mind. In practice it can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and make them less disruptive to daily life. Stephanie draws on these methods to offer different ways of working depending on the concern presented.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then suggest approaches to try. That shared planning helps shape sessions so they fit the person’s needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt some exercises and homework for remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss which practical arrangements work best for each person.
