Stephanie Hrit

Stephanie Hrit is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon. She offers care in English and works from North Carolina.

In the room she focuses on what the person needs now. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotions feel overwhelming and steadying techniques are useful.

Stephanie also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and respond more deliberately. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs help finding reasons to try new behaviors. These methods are practical and action-oriented.

Her background includes work in Michigan and current practice tied to North Carolina licensure. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She adapts conversations to each person’s situation.

Getting started means completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Stephanie uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps when someone is sorting through values, decisions, or feelings about what comes next.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that feel stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotions are intense; DBT offers breathing, grounding, and problem-solving techniques to manage strong reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter setting or shorter video-free options when long video calls are difficult. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular outcome.
