Stephanie Carvajal, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Stephanie

Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She offers warm, practical support for people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship stress, and parenting challenges. Stephanie speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida, bringing five years of clinical experience to each session.

Her sessions tend to be interactive and encouraging. She listens closely and helps people set small, workable goals. Stephanie uses straightforward tools you can try between appointments to ease stress and improve communication at home.

Background and approach

Stephanie's background includes work in community and medical settings. That work gave her experience managing crises and supporting people through traumatic events. She also trained in nurturing parenting and infant mental health, which informs her understanding of family dynamics.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical skills. She adds motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies when they fit the situation. The result is a plan tailored to each person's needs and daily life.

Outside of work she enjoys running and mission trips, activities she says help her stay grounded. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches used in online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it can be useful when someone needs support processing family stress or making parenting decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine approaches to fit the situation. That collaboration helps make sessions feel useful and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from Florida or from other locations, and they allow follow-up between sessions when brief coaching or check-ins help keep progress on track.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
