Getting to know Stephanie Freitas

You show up for work, meet deadlines, care for your family, support your friends, and somehow keep all the pieces moving. From the outside, it may even look like you have everything together. But underneath the success, you're exhausted. You're overthinking, carrying constant stress, questioning yourself, or wondering why it feels so hard to simply enjoy your life. You don't have to keep doing it alone. I'm Stephanie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults experiencing anxiety, high-functioning anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, depression, perfectionism, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Therapy with me isn't about sitting in silence or feeling judged. It's about having honest conversations, developing practical tools, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I want you to leave each session with greater clarity, confidence, and a plan that feels realistic for your life. I use an eclectic, individualized approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), reality-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based techniques, along with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when helpful. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor treatment to your unique goals, needs, and strengths.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Many of my clients are professionals balancing demanding careers, relationships, and family responsibilities. They're high achievers who are used to taking care of everyone else but rarely give themselves permission to slow down and prioritize their own well-being. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply ready to make meaningful changes, therapy can help you build healthier patterns, strengthen your relationships, and reconnect with the version of yourself that's been buried beneath stress and responsibility. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but it can also be the beginning of lasting change. I'd be honored to support you on that journey.
