About Stephanie
Stephanie Brotherton is a licensed social worker in Kansas who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed. She supports those coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and issues around parenting. Stephanie uses plain language and a down-to-earth style so families and individuals can talk about what matters most.
She has nine years of professional experience and maintains her Kansas LSCSW license. Stephanie has worked with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, impulsivity, isolation, and social anxiety.
Background and approach
She also lists training related to autism, dual diagnosis, dialectical behavior therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. In sessions she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space for sharing thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on concrete steps a person or parent can take to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
The tone is supportive and practical rather than overly clinical. Stephanie encourages clients to name small goals and try manageable changes between sessions. She emphasizes collaboration and keeps things grounded in everyday life.
Her approach suits people who want clear, direct support for mood, parenting challenges, and trauma-related concerns. Services are offered in English and delivered through a mix of online formats. Stephanie explains options and helps each person pick the best way to meet their needs.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Stephanie draws on well-known, evidence-based techniques to address trauma, mood, and parenting challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works with each person to match methods to their goals and comfort level, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The emphasis is on trying practical strategies together and finding what fits the individual's situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options let people connect from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and continue work between meetings. Stephanie will review the available formats and help select the one that best supports the client's needs and daily life.
