About Stephanie
Stephanie Traver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 11 years of practice experience in New York. She works with adults facing family concerns, parenting challenges, mood disorders, anxiety, addiction, grief, and stress-related issues. Her background also includes work with attachment difficulties, abandonment and adoption matters, and caregiver stress.
Stephanie frames therapy as a practical process of self-reflection and skill building. Sessions focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She helps people set short-term steps and longer-term plans for managing external stressors and recurring difficulties.
Her approach draws from several clinical methods to match what each person needs. That can include strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, ways to address emotional patterns tied to early relationships, and techniques to increase presence with difficult emotions. These methods are used to support clearer choices in daily life.
She has experience with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance and gambling-related problems, and dissociation. Additional areas of focus listed in her work include blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, and aging-related stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most to them. It uses exercises to build willingness to experience difficult feelings while moving toward chosen values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. It helps people recognize those patterns and practice different ways of relating that feel more manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility for scheduling around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively across remote sessions, adapting exercises and check-ins so they work well in a digital setting.
