About Stephanie
Stephanie Ehrlich Seitz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, career pressures, and big life changes. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at making daily life more manageable.
Stephanie has worked in the field for 13 years in North Carolina. She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building skills that can be used between meetings. Her work often addresses communication problems, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also helps people who feel isolated or stuck, and those rethinking their life purpose or workplace direction.
Seasonal Affective Disorder and self-care topics are part of her clinical focus. In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques help people tolerate strong emotions.
Internal Family Systems ideas support understanding different parts of the self and how they interact. Stephanie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship. She collaborates with each person to shape the conversation and the plan.
That collaborative approach helps people find realistic next steps for change.
How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and choices about work or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce stress and improve mood. It is often used for anxiety and mood difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress during hard situations.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will invite conversation about your goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in sessions. Together you can try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the therapy fits your life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills; phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make it simpler to get consistent support while balancing other responsibilities.
