Stephanie Stickley, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Stephanie!

I provide counseling services for couples and individuals. I have a solid foundation in helping clients work with their relationships of all types.

My focus

I work with adult individuals and couples. My skills are best utilized when treating clients with relational issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My approach

I will teach you practical skills to understand your emotions and communicate more effectively. My style combines Emotionally Focused and Solution-Focused Therapy, so we will discover the deeper issues and patterns driving your conflicts as well as your strengths and what has worked for you.

My communication style

My communication style is warm and engaging. I view therapy as a dialogue, that is, a joint effort between therapist and client. In this conversation, we explore ideas and resources to promote growth and change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My personal interest in striving for personal growth and achievement attracted me to the field of Psychology and the pursuit of an education in Counseling. Witnessing transformation in others is exciting and rewarding.

My goals for you

In our first or second session, I will assist clients in clarifying what they want to obtain from therapy. Together, we will set a timeline with periodic session check-ins.

Our first session

We will discuss what has brought them to therapy. This initial conversation allows clients to express their concerns directly and typically brings some immediate relief.
