About Stephanie
Stephanie Feliciano is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Illinois with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, plus issues like depression, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. She listens and helps people clarify what they want to change. Conversations aim to make daily problems feel more manageable and to identify concrete next steps.
Stephanie draws on several therapeutic approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports discussing feelings and building clearer emotional responses.
Expect practical, short-term focus when that fits, and deeper reflection when that’s what’s needed. She combines talking with exercises or reflections to practice between sessions. The emphasis is on what helps in everyday life.
Her background in social work informs work with people facing life transitions, caregiving strain, blended family issues, and adoption-related concerns. She also addresses sexual expression topics such as BDSM and kink without judgment. Stephanie’s approach aims to be direct and human rather than clinical or distant.

How sessions work
How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online work
Stephanie uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around the client's priorities, which can help with parenting decisions, relationship questions, and life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers clear exercises and small experiments people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or shift habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another approach she draws on; it helps people name and move through difficult feelings and improve how they respond to emotional triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a practical CBT exercise one week and a client-centered conversation the next.
The biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting and work demands.
