Stephanie Carvajal, LCSW

Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She works with individuals dealing with family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and feelings of emptiness or low self-esteem. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish and brings five years of clinical experience to sessions.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to help people try new ways of thinking and behaving.

Stephanie has worked in community and medical settings, including early childhood and family-focused programs. That background informs her attention to family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She also has experience in crisis intervention and trauma-related work.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative planning. Together with each person she sets priorities, practices coping skills, and adjusts steps as needed. She uses evidence-informed techniques in ways that fit each person’s situation.

Outside of work she enjoys running and mission trips, and she has served in Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua. To begin a match, users are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and helps people clarify their goals and values, which can be useful for relationship and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill practice to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, then try techniques that fit. Plans are adjusted as progress and circumstances change so therapy stays useful.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing workday check-ins, or offering shorter focused meetings when life is hectic. They also let people continue care when schedules or locations change, while the therapist and client focus on practical skills and goal-focused work.
