Stephanie Hrit

Stephanie Hrit is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical, trauma-informed care. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues tied to past abuse. Stephanie keeps language direct and meetings straightforward so parents and caregivers can understand what to expect.

She holds an LMSW in Michigan and an LCSW in North Carolina. Stephanie draws on six years of clinical experience to shape conversations and plans that fit each person's needs. Sessions aim to clarify immediate concerns and build skills people can use between visits.

Stephanie works with common life stresses such as low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and coping with big changes. She also addresses more specific difficulties like abandonment wounds, body image, codependency, and caregiver stress. Her approach is to break problems into clear steps and practice new ways of responding over time.

Her style is patient and respectful. She believes in tailoring dialogue and treatment to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. That means picking techniques that make sense for the client's goals and daily life.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Stephanie encourages anyone who is ready to begin to take that first step and set up an initial visit.

How trauma-focused and skill-based approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps name and process distressing experiences in manageable steps. It focuses on reducing the intensity of trauma-related reactions and building coping skills for everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the pace and the therapist follows their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by practicing new ways of thinking and acting that can lessen anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful for the individual. That collaborative process guides whether to emphasize trauma processing, skill building, or a mix of methods over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to keep consistent appointments. It can reduce travel time and help people attend shorter check-ins when needed. This profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking to learn which virtual or other formats are offered. The emphasis is on finding practical ways to make therapy work within everyday life.
