About Stephanie
Stephanie Carvajal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, parenting stress, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Stephanie has experience in community and medical settings, and she has worked directly with families and early childhood development. She holds the Infant Mental Health Endorsement and a Nurturing Parenting Program Certification, and she has experience providing crisis intervention and trauma-focused support. That background informs how she understands family patterns and early attachment.
Her style is interactive and client-centered. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. In practice that means talking through specific problems, trying skills in session, and making small, practical changes between meetings.
Clients can expect concrete tools for emotional regulation and communication. She often addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress, family dynamics, and the practical fallout of trauma. Stephanie also works on career issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Outside of clinical work she runs and participates in mission trips, and she brings that active, action-oriented outlook into therapy. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to identify goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stephanie blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in practical ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people set their own goals. CBT looks at the link between thoughts and behavior and teaches clear strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are useful when anger feels intense.Finding the right mix of techniques is collaborative. She will work with each client to choose which tools to try based on current needs, goals, and what feels manageable. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions focused and relevant.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the contexts where they live and work, and adapt homework to real-life situations.
