About Stephanie

Stephanie Knauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, and parenting strains. She uses straightforward, practical methods so conversations feel useful from the start.

She draws on Attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Stephanie combines that perspective with Client-Centered listening and Cognitive Behavioral tools to help people notice thoughts, change unhelpful patterns, and build new habits.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change. Stephanie has seven years of experience across inpatient behavioral health and substance use settings. That background shaped her comfort with both short-term problem-solving and longer work on deeper patterns.

She also pays attention to how medical or chronic health issues can affect mood and behavior. Her approach is practical and person-focused. She often mixes mindfulness strategies and DBT skills when stress, strong emotions, or impulse control are part of the problem.

She also addresses issues such as body image, attachment wounds, caregiver stress, and first responder stress. People who work with her can expect clear goals, skills to use between sessions, and steady support while they try new ways of coping. Stephanie frames therapy as a partnership that centers the client's priorities.

Online support

How attachment work and skills translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and expectations. In online sessions Stephanie will help clients trace those patterns and practice new responses to closeness and conflict, which can reduce repeated cycles in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship; online formats allow that collaborative conversation to happen in flexible ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, giving clear homework and tools that people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She combines approaches when needed and checks in regularly to adjust strategies so the work fits the person's life and progress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and stay engaged in skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send quick updates, try brief coping prompts, or keep momentum between scheduled sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily routines.
