About Stephanie
Stephanie Kujawa is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois. She has 13 years of experience in clinical settings and helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical, down-to-earth support.
Stephanie takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations are collaborative and geared toward real change rather than jargon-filled explanations.
Her work often focuses on everyday problems like managing worry, improving mood, and repairing communication in close relationships. She also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, or changes in caregiving responsibilities. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the concerns she addresses.
Stephanie uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She adapts each plan to a person's needs and preferences instead of following a fixed script. Sessions tend to blend practical strategies with deeper reflection on patterns that keep problems going.
She emphasizes skill building for coping and clearer ways of thinking and relating. Clients can expect gentle challenge alongside practical tools to use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Stephanie uses several evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and build new habits. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce worry and panic by teaching concrete coping skills. Dialectical behavioral ideas emphasize emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to help people get through intense moments without reacting in ways they later regret.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help guide what feels most useful and what needs more focus over time.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The biography does not list specific formats, so check available choices when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving, or a shorter check-in can be used during a break. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and help maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
