About Stefani
Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience practicing in Pennsylvania. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. She also helps people facing trauma, grief, ADHD, and relationship or parenting strains.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are respectful and direct. She listens, asks practical questions, and works with each person to set clear goals.
Stefani draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people build momentum and take manageable steps forward. She has used hypnotherapy in specific situations, such as smoking cessation and weight management.
When helpful, she blends approaches to match someone’s needs rather than sticking to a single method. Stefani aims to create a plan that fits daily life. That can mean short, targeted work on a single problem or longer support for mood and relationship patterns.
She encourages small, steady changes and celebrates progress along the way.

Approaches that fit online work and goals
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and values. In sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client choose goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what change would look like.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include straightforward exercises to test new thinking and to try different behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses questions and reflections to strengthen a person’s motivation and plan realistic next steps. This approach pairs well with goal-focused online work like quitting smoking or improving routines.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows more face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill-building, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and to keep progress moving forward.
