01About Stefani
Stefani Jivkova welcomes people who are looking for practical help with relationships, self-esteem, career questions, and major life changes. She is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with five years of experience. She writes short, goal-focused sessions that aim to move people forward rather than dwell on past problems.
Her work centers on finding clear steps that fit each person's life. She listens for strengths and values, then helps turn them into actionable plans.
Background and approach
That might mean setting career goals, improving communication, or learning to manage strong feelings like guilt or shame. Stefani brings experience supporting people after trauma and loss. She helps with mood concerns, social anxiety, body image, and workplace problems.
She also offers coaching-style support for questions about life purpose and money decisions. Her style is solution-based and collaborative. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
She aims to offer concrete tools, communication strategies, and small behavior changes that lead to progress. Stefani offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Stefani uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is solution-focused work, which identifies small, achievable steps to make rapid progress on a specific problem like communication or career planning. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing difficult emotions and mood concerns, teaching concrete strategies to reduce shame, impulsivity, or social anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and daily life. That means trying strategies, tracking what helps, and adjusting plans when needed so the therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to fit progress into a real-life routine.
