About Stephanie

Stephanie Nash is a licensed clinician based in the District of Columbia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, mood concerns, and relationship strain. She brings nearly three decades of experience and a calm, practical style to sessions. Her work centers on listening, identifying strengths, and helping clients set clear, achievable goals.

Stephanie uses straightforward methods that people can apply between sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses mindfulness to help quiet intense feelings and solution-focused work to set short-term goals that build momentum. Her background includes long experience supporting adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and life transitions. Stephanie frames progress as small, steady steps rather than instant change.

She helps people name what matters, weigh options, and try different strategies to see what works for them. Sessions typically emphasize practical skills, problem-solving, and building coping habits. Stephanie aims to tailor each plan to a person’s goals and daily life, whether the focus is parenting stress, caregiver burden, workplace conflict, or issues around intimacy and grief.

She pays attention to identity and LGBT-related concerns when they affect wellbeing. People who prefer clear guidance and usable tools often find this approach helpful. Stephanie invites prospective clients to share a bit about their goals so she can shape sessions around their needs and priorities.

Approaches Stephanie lists

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Stephanie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and work or relationship problems.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy to help clients notice and tolerate strong emotions without reacting on impulse. Mindfulness practices are brief and easy to practice between sessions, which suits online work well.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps during online sessions and adjust the plan over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity of care from different locations.
