Stephanie Maxwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience.

Background and approach
The goal is to build skills that fit everyday life rather than rely on jargon. Stephanie aims to make therapy collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and offers tools, feedback, and support to meet their goals.
Conversations move at a steady pace so problems feel more manageable over time. Her work also addresses attachment and relationship patterns. That can include looking at how past connections affect current reactions and communication.
When relevant, she brings in emotionally-focused and client-centered approaches to improve how people relate to themselves and others. Practical matters are part of her approach too. She helps people break big problems into small steps.
That might mean trying specific behavior changes, practicing new responses, or building routines that reduce stress. Many clients find this clear, hands-on focus useful when life feels overwhelming.

04Online support
Approach-driven online therapy you can access from home
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based actions. It can help when anxiety, depression, or avoidance get in the way of living the life someone values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete ways to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns, which can be useful for relationship stress and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process means techniques may change as the therapist and client learn what fits best.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and more structured sessions. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter updates, homework checks, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while using approaches like ACT and CBT effectively.
