About Stephanie
Stephanie Rothrock is an LCSW who draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, panic, and life transitions. They use clear, practical tools and a calm presence to make sessions feel manageable. Stephanie works to help people find steadier footing when panic or worry shows up.
Stephanie has nine years of experience in behavioral health and has worked in outpatient settings and as a developmental specialist. They earned a masters degree in 2017 and have since focused on trauma, adjustment, and crisis care. That background informs how they support people through post-traumatic stress, grief, and the fallout of difficult events.
In sessions, Stephanie talks with people about what is actually happening day to day. They help break down overwhelming thoughts and moments into steps that feel doable. The work often includes building skills to notice panic early, shift unhelpful thinking, and practice grounding strategies that reduce intensity.
Stephanie also explores identity, sexuality, and meaning. Areas they address include LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, BDSM and kink topics, and questions about life purpose. They help people sort through guilt, shame, and isolation while supporting self-love and forgiveness.
Their approach is collaborative and straightforward. People are invited to set goals and try practical exercises between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many of the evidence-based techniques used in Stephanie's work focus on clear skills you can practice between sessions. For example, cognitive strategies help people notice and gently change unhelpful thoughts that escalate panic or social anxiety. These techniques teach simple steps to test worries and create less reactive thinking patterns.Another common component is grounding and exposure-style practice. Grounding uses sensory checks and brief behavioral exercises to reduce the intensity of panic symptoms and bring attention back to the present. Exposure-related work breaks down feared situations into small, repeated steps so reactions reduce over time and daily life feels more manageable.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort level. They will check in and adjust techniques based on what helps most so the plan stays practical and relevant.
