About Stephanie

Stephanie Maxwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on attachment-related concerns and uses a blend of practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. Stephanie aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for those who are nervous about starting therapy.

She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform her work when clients want to build emotional awareness and stronger connections with themselves and others. Sessions are collaborative. Stephanie treats each person as the expert on their life and works with them to set clear, practical goals.

She uses mindfulness and body-aware techniques when they help someone feel grounded during difficult moments. The focus is on small, achievable changes rather than overwhelming steps. Her experience includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness or pain, fertility-related stress, and relationship communication problems.

She also addresses areas like body image, control issues, and caregiver stress. Stephanie adapts her approach to the person in front of her, not to a fixed protocol. Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

People who want to begin can expect a straightforward intake and a plan tailored to their needs and day-to-day life.

Online support

How attachment and ACT work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck by teaching practical skills for moving forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance so clients feel heard while they explore what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift, and the plan is adjusted in collaboration.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be handy when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share thoughts between sessions or use a written check-in when speaking feels hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
