It’s not always easy to create a life that feels aligned with who you are. You might find yourself feeling disconnected, uncertain, or questioning your choices, wondering why things don’t feel as fulfilling as you expected. These experiences can be difficult, but they can also be important starting points for deeper understanding. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore these questions with care. Together, we’ll look at patterns in your emotional life and relationships, explore how past experiences may be shaping the present, and reconnect with what feels most meaningful to you. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and insight-oriented. Sessions are reflective and focused on helping you better understand yourself over time, with space to process emotions and gain clarity. I often work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and a general sense of feeling unfulfilled or “off.” Over time, clients often feel more connected to themselves, more clear about what matters, and more able to move forward with intention. If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to reach out for a free consultation to see if this feels like a good fit.

We are a collaborative team working on your health and well-being. In the interest of enhanced communication between us, I'd like to take the time to explain the process of counseling. The process of counseling can be both exciting and scary, as you reach within yourself to achieve your full potential. It often takes a "leap of faith" to begin the counseling process, and you've already achieved that difficult goal. You will set and achieve many other difficult goals in our time together! In counseling, I work primarily from three different viewpoints. The first is called cognitive-behavioral, which is really just a term to describe the fact that I believe that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are very intertwined, and that sometimes our problems are caused by the way we think, feel, and/or behave. This gets complicated because all of these things become mixed with one another, so after a while it may become difficult to sort out what started the problem in the first place. One of the things I will do in therapy is to help you sort out your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and which of these may contribute to your problems. Sometimes simply restructuring the way we think is enough for us to work through our problems. A second viewpoint I work from deals with the family in which you grew up. Many of the things we experience in our childhood affects us throughout our lives, and, in fact, help to shape the personalities we have as adults. One of the things we will do in therapy is explore your family history to look for patterns and themes that may affect you and play out in your life today. Sometimes simply recognizing your family's patterns, whether currently, or how you think and feel about them in the past, can help you to work through your issues. Finally, I work from a systemic point of view. Simply put, I acknowledge that each one us is embedded in a greater context than ourselves. We have families, friends, school, work, community, and other life situations that greatly affect how we function. I will work with you to discover if there are any systemic difficulties in your life, and help you to resolve them. These are my primary ways of helping you in counseling, though I will utilize a variety of techniques to help you in any way that I can. One of the things that you can expect, though, is that I will be giving you 100% in our work together. If you put the same amount of effort into this process, you will be amazed at what you can achieve!
Therapy is a journey of self discovery which complements life experiences. It is through active listening and integrated approaches that the past is explored to determine how it relates to the present so that more satisfying life choices can be made. Research has shown that there is a mind body connection and for well being and balance, therapy can be a resource. If you are on the fence about going, " It is easy to do the things that are bad and not beneficial to the self but very very hard to do indeed is that which is beneficial and good." Dhammapada.
I believe effective mental health care begins with listening carefully and understanding the whole person, not simply identifying symptoms. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to understand each patient’s experiences, concerns, cultural background, personal values, and treatment goals so we can develop a plan that feels both clinically appropriate and personally meaningful. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), bipolar challenges, psychosis, trauma, mood-related challenges, and substance use. Depending on each patient’s needs, treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and practical coping skills. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable discussing difficult experiences. When spirituality is important to a patient, I welcome incorporating it into treatment. My goal is to help each person better understand what they’re experiencing, strengthen their ability to manage challenges, and make meaningful progress toward greater stability and well-being.
I work collaboratively with clients to empower them to identify and move through the issues that stand between them and the lives they hope to lead. I bring a unique approach that blends evidence-based, solution oriented strategies with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) techniques to help clients foster connection, community, and meaning. I operate from a strengths based perspective and prioritize a space of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and respect. I am a first-generation Latina fluent in both Spanish and English. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
If social anxiety has been holding you back from living the life you want, whether it's speaking up at work, forming meaningful connections, or simply feeling comfortable in everyday social situations, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) with an M.Ed., I specialize in helping adults overcome social anxiety using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). These proven methods provide practical tools and strategies that create real, lasting change. My educational background includes training from New York University (NYU), the University of Southern California (USC), and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, where I developed a strong foundation in behavioral therapies that actually work. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to face your fears at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll work to understand the thoughts and patterns that fuel your anxiety, develop concrete skills to manage difficult emotions, and build your confidence through carefully planned exposures. My approach is warm and compassionate, while also being structured and action-oriented, because I know that real change comes from both insight and practice.
My name is Stephanie and I'm the proud owner of Live, Love, Loud Mental Health Counseling PLLC. We work with adults and seniors, individuals, couples, families, and groups struggling with anxiety, depression, and identity issues. We help by allowing you to tell your story, tap into your individual strengths to facilitate healing, achieve greater emotional intelligence, develop healthier communication styles, and overcome your life challenges. Within a strength-based, client-centered environment, we utilize an eclectic approach using elements of solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and positive psychology.
If you’re here, you’re likely feeling exhausted in a way rest alone doesn’t fix. You may appear high functioning on the outside, keeping up with work, family, and responsibilities, while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself. Many people I work with are navigating chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, trauma responses, or relationship strain and are realizing that “pushing through” is no longer sustainable. I specialize in working with adults who are insightful, capable, and often the ones others rely on, yet feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, emotional overload, people pleasing, or self criticism. My clients are often professionals, caregivers, and high achievers who seek more than just symptom relief. They want clarity, emotional regulation, healthier boundaries, and a deeper sense of alignment in their lives. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I show up as a real person and create a space where you feel safe, understood, and gently challenged. I am not a passive or distant therapist. I listen closely, ask meaningful questions, and help you slow down enough to understand your patterns, emotional responses, and the ways past experiences may still be shaping your present. In our work together, I integrate evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with relational and client centered care. Therapy with me focuses on increasing self awareness, improving emotional regulation, processing unresolved experiences, and developing practical tools you can use in everyday life. We move at a pace that feels supportive while still allowing for meaningful growth. Above all, I believe therapy is not about fixing you. It is about helping you feel safer within yourself, more connected to your needs, and more confident in how you show up in your relationships and life. If you are looking for online therapy to address anxiety, burnout, trauma, or life transitions, I would be honored to support you.
