About Stephanie
Stephanie Nash is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the District of Columbia and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 29 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting strain, and anger. She also supports people facing grief, career transitions, mood disorders, ADHD, and concerns common to young adults.
She prefers straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems alive and trying small, concrete changes. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to increase calm and attention when that fits the person's goals.
Stephanie draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and test what works in daily life. She emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than long lists of theory. Her experience includes long-term work with a variety of mood and stress-related concerns seen in Washington DC and Maryland.
Her style is collaborative - she helps clients notice what they already do well and plan new actions. She treats anger as one issue among others, helping people understand triggers and choose responses that match their values. She encourages small experiments and uses goals to track progress.
To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching tools and schedule a first session. The therapist offers services in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT is practical and often focuses on real-life tasks like changing reactions at work or home.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help people develop attention and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness work can be a simple breathing or noticing exercise to use when anger rises. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, achievable goals and try experiments that produce observable change.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to match methods to goals, preferences, and everyday demands. That means trying techniques, seeing what fits, and shifting direction if needed.
Confirm the specific session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins between appointments. Some approaches translate well to shorter, focused sessions while others use longer conversations and brief practices to support change.
