About Stephanie

Stephanie Traver is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in New York. She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma, and addiction. Stephanie focuses on building practical awareness and clearer thinking so people can take the next steps they want to take.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That perspective is combined with acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional reactions.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space for reflection and skill practice. Stephanie often supports people facing parenting strain, grief, relationship problems, and caregiving stress. She also works with those coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, dissociation, and personality-related challenges.

Her work includes attention to stress, anger, self-esteem, and career-related concerns. Her approach emphasizes small, concrete steps. Together with a client she identifies goals and builds a plan to manage external stresses and longer-term problems.

That can include tools for emotion regulation, clear communication strategies, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking. Sessions aim to increase insight and everyday coping skills so people can move toward the life they want. Stephanie communicates plainly and checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits each person’s needs.

Online support

How attachment work and ACT translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of feeling and connecting. Online sessions use that lens to notice recurring relationship habits, increase emotional awareness, and practice new interaction choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and to clarify values for concrete next steps; it is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and pace, giving space for reflection and for building trust before trying new skills.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they tailor a plan that may combine attachment ideas, ACT exercises, and cognitive skills depending on what helps most.

Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options increase flexibility for scheduling and for the types of work a person wants to try.
