About Stephanie
Stephanie Birnbaum is an Ohio LPCC with 36 years of clinical experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, anger, ADHD, and relationship strain. She practices in Ohio and offers care in English. Her work often includes coaching around career, parenting, and life transitions.
Stephanie uses straightforward, structured sessions to identify unhelpful patterns. She focuses on building practical tools for emotion regulation, boundary setting, and problem solving. When clients request it, she integrates Biblical perspectives alongside evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT.
Her sessions tend to move quickly from describing problems to trying concrete strategies. That can include practicing coping skills, setting small behavioral experiments, or rehearsing new ways to speak up. She also offers hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques as part of brief, goal-oriented work.
Stephanie draws on decades of clinical experience with trauma, grief, addictions, and midlife concerns. She pays attention to how family of origin, attachment, and career pressures affect daily behavior. Her background includes supporting people through compassion fatigue and first responder issues.
People who come for help with anger often get clear steps to reduce reactive responses and to communicate more calmly. Sessions aim to increase awareness of triggers, add specific regulation skills, and build a plan for real-life practice. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Stephanie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and low mood. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete short-term goals and hypnotherapy for clients who request it as a tool to support behavior change. Each approach targets practical skills that can be practiced between meetings and applied to work, family, and daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and personal preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That selection can change over time based on what is most helpful.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered for online work, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals adapt techniques such as skills coaching and behavioral experiments to virtual formats so work continues between sessions.
