About Stephanie
Stephanie Van Ingen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 20 years of mental health experience to her practice in Pennsylvania.
She sees the whole life span as shaping who a person is, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes the relationship between client and therapist as the foundation of progress.
Background and approach
Stephanie aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and understood. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs. Her approach is flexible.
She draws from a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than using a single method. This allows her to match strategies to the issues someone brings and to adjust as progress unfolds. Stephanie has worked in many settings over her career, including outpatient and inpatient care, treatment facilities, hospitals, schools, and residential programs.
That variety informs how she tailors practical tools and supports to different life situations. She offers multiple ways to communicate - video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - and is willing to connect daily when that helps a person stay on track. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's timing.
Approaches and online therapy options
Stephanie commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These techniques are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships and boundaries are a struggle.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try techniques that fit the person’s needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video sessions recreate a face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be useful when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to fit brief work during a busy day. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain consistent care around work, family, and life demands.
