About Stephanie
Stephanie Sligo-Baker is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 37 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. Stephanie also addresses relationship and intimacy issues and supports people facing career stress and caregiving burdens.
Stephanie draws on several practical therapy approaches to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of her. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in day-to-day life.
Her work has included responding to trauma and abuse and supporting people with addiction concerns. She has experience helping first responders and healthcare workers who have been exposed to job-related trauma. Stephanie also supports people with ADHD, bipolar conditions, chronic illness, and body-image or eating concerns.
Sessions focus on straightforward problem-solving alongside emotional processing. Conversations look at patterns that keep problems going, and then try small, practical changes to see what helps. Stephanie mentions attachment-based ideas when relational history matters and may integrate dialectical behavior strategies if emotion regulation is a priority.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can look at how those patterns affect present relationships and choices. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and reflection; it helps people name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with short exercises and doable experiments to reduce symptoms and test new ways of acting.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative task. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That way the plan evolves from what the client needs, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in between commitments or a session that avoids travel time. It can also allow for practical homework and real-time practice of skills during the week, helping techniques transfer into everyday situations.
