I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experiencing working with children, adults and families. My passion as a therapist is built upon the therapeutic relationships I build with individuals. I work with many clients coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, academic difficulties, life transitions and psychological stressors. Most recently, I have been helping individuals cope with the new normal of life as we navigate through the collective trauma of Covid. This has been particularly difficult for so many of us.
I approach therapy through a warm, gentle and nurturing approach. I start where you are, building an individualized treatment plan to meet your goals while building upon your strengths. My approach is cognitive behavioral therapy based with a solution and strength-based focus.
Beginning therapy and reaching out for help can be hard and I recognize this challenge. I look forward to helping you begin this journey to pause and find self-reflection and calm.
I look forward to beginning our work together!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Fredericka. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My time working with Stephanie has been a wonderful experience. I have suffered from terrible anxiety my whole life, and in the past I have struggled to find or trust someone I can talk to. Stephanie has been amazing for me. I very much appreciate Stephanie’s kind and nonjudgmental approach to therapy. I also am very appreciative of her knowledge about cognitive behavioral therapy and how to change your thinking. It will take some time to help me significantly reduce my anxiety, but I feel like I’m in terrific hands with Stephanie . I would absolutely without a doubt recommend Stephanie Fredericka to anyone in need of an exceptional therapist, especially during these times when it’s often hard to find good mental health care.
