About Stephanie
Stephanie Fredericka is a licensed clinical social worker who brings ten years of experience to her practice in New Jersey. She focuses on creating a calm, steady space where people can talk about anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. Stephanie aims to meet each person where they are and build a plan that fits their goals and strengths.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that keep symptoms going.
Background and approach
She pairs that with solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and psychodynamic perspectives to understand how past patterns affect today. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still making room for deeper reflection. Stephanie often helps people dealing with ADHD, mood disorders including bipolar, grief, addictions, and parenting stress.
She also supports those navigating relationship tensions, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and burnout such as compassion fatigue. Her work includes helping people with sleep and eating concerns and coping with major life changes. Her style is warm and gentle.
She starts where each person is and builds an individualized plan that uses strengths already present. Therapy tends to include hands-on strategies, short-term goal setting, and time to process difficult feelings. Stephanie guides practical steps toward change while also slowing down for self-reflection.
She welcomes conversations about what is feeling most urgent and what small actions could make daily life easier.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and shifting daily habits.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that make a quick difference. This approach works well when someone wants measurable progress in a few sessions.
The therapist views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist will decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can change over time as progress is made or new concerns come up.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports focused short check-ins, and messaging helps continue work between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around school, work, or family responsibilities and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
