About Stephanie
Stephanie Czarnecki is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of hands-on experience. She uses a friendly, collaborative style to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and other concerns. Stephanie meets each person where they are and works alongside them to set realistic goals.
Her work draws on several approaches, including EMDR, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered care. She adapts methods to the person rather than following a single formula.
Background and approach
That means sessions often blend practical skills, talk-based exploration, and guided exercises suited to the issue at hand. Stephanie has provided case management, individual and group therapy, and support for long-term recovery. She has experience with anger management, medication coordination, and suicide prevention education.
She has also worked with people facing complex diagnoses such as bipolar disorder, dissociative symptoms, and traumatic brain injury. In sessions she keeps the tone warm and interactive. Conversations are respectful and focused on what the person wants to change.
Treatment plans are made together and adjusted as progress is made. People come to her for help with relationships, parenting strain, grief, body image, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other concerns. She emphasizes practical steps and small measurable changes to help people feel steadier day to day.
Stephanie practices in Illinois and holds LCSW credentials. She provides care in English and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Stephanie draws from EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy to address trauma, anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck. EMDR involves processing distressing memories with guided attention and can help reduce the emotional charge of past events. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the person about goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fits their needs. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls let most people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers to not be on camera. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, and flexible communication during busy weeks.
