About Stephanie
Stephanie Safos-Moriarty is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eleven years of clinical experience. She aims to create a straightforward, compassionate space for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, or life transitions. Stephanie uses clear language and practical steps so conversations stay focused and useful.
She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build better coping skills.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also appear in her practice to support goal setting and small, achievable changes. These approaches are used together to match what each person needs. Sessions often center on identifying patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or relationship strain and then testing small behavior changes.
She can help people address sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, career concerns, grief, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. Stephanie also supports clients facing mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Her work includes attention to substance use and compassion fatigue, and she offers coaching-style support when clients want concrete next steps.
Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented, with practical tools to try between sessions. Stephanie practices in Florida and sees people in English. She invites clients to take a first step by describing what feels most urgent and together choosing clear, manageable goals.

How Stephanie applies evidence-based approaches online
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, anger, and low mood. CBT breaks concerns into manageable steps and often uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are practical tools for handling strong emotions and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose CBT, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, or solution-focused methods based on what the client wants to achieve. Together they set goals and try small, concrete changes that fit daily life.
Online therapy gives flexibility to fit counseling into a busy schedule. Video calls let visual cues guide the session, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practice new skills between meetings.
