About Stephanie
Stephanie Hrit is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of professional experience. She practices from North Carolina and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life changes.
She focuses on practical conversation and steady support. Sessions are used to talk through current problems, notice unhelpful patterns, and build skills for everyday coping. Stephanie aims to be respectful and sensitive while adapting the pace to each person’s needs.
Her background includes work with people dealing with abandonment, relationship and communication problems, body image and emptiness, caregiver stress, and the effects of divorce or domestic violence. She also has experience related to personality concerns and mood dysregulation issues.
Stephanie uses a mix of approaches to match what a client needs. She draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and motivation.
The first sessions typically map out current concerns and practical steps forward. Later work can include skill practice, behavior changes, and reflecting on past experiences that keep problems active. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Stephanie often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in session. Client-centered work focuses on listening and adjusting the conversation to what matters most to the client, which helps when sorting through guilt or shame. Cognitive behavioral tools look at patterns of thinking and behavior, and they help people test and change unhelpful thoughts that keep emotions stuck.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and mindfulness practices to notice moments of shame without getting swept up in them. These approaches aim to give concrete skills that can be used between sessions and in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, current concerns, and preferences. That plan can change as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use these moments to practice skills, follow up on behavioral experiments, and keep work focused on what matters day to day.
