About Stephanie

Stephanie Feliciano is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on anger, stress, anxiety, relationships, and other life challenges. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

She keeps things straightforward and avoids judgement. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change. She blends clinical therapy approaches with an attentive, relational style so people can talk through difficult feelings and make small, sustainable changes.

Her approach often includes helping clients recognize triggers, practice calmer responses, and build better communication habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternative actions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on connection and understanding in relationships.

Stephanie also draws on Client-Centered principles, offering steady listening and reflection to help clients find their own answers. She works in both English and Spanish for those who prefer either language. Her background supports work on grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and identity issues among other topics.

People who choose her for anger-related work can expect a mix of practical skills and conversational exploration. She invites clients to test new responses between sessions and to bring real situations from daily life into therapy for problem-solving.

To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site's booking flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Stephanie often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on attentive listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. That approach supports discussing real-life anger moments and testing small changes between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses. CBT helps identify thought patterns that feed anger and offers concrete exercises to try different behaviors and rethink automatic reactions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas are used when relationship patterns and attachment wounds are part of the concern. EFT helps name emotions and improve how people express needs to others.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges rather than prescribing a single route.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera depending on the format offered. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life while focusing on skills for managing anger and improving communication.
