Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil

Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients coping with trauma, grief, ADHD, and life transitions like divorce and separation.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are respectful and direct. She listens first, then helps set clear, short-term goals to move forward.

Stefani often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She uses those approaches to help people change unhelpful thinking, build skills, and identify small steps that lead to progress. She has also incorporated hypnotherapy for issues like smoking cessation and weight management.

In practical terms she focuses on communication, codependency, mood disorders, and coping skills for everyday life. She helps people break down big problems into manageable steps and track small wins along the way. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs.

People who choose her typically want clear, goal-oriented sessions with a counselor who listens and offers concrete strategies. If someone is ready to take the first step, she guides them through planning change and staying accountable along the way.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting working relationship. It focuses on understanding each person’s values and goals and tailoring sessions around what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that influence mood and behavior, then practices skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by setting clear homework and practicing skills between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate, practical steps that move someone toward their goals. It concentrates on small, achievable changes and tracking progress week to week.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then adapt methods together so sessions feel helpful and relevant. The plan can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using worksheets, guided exercises, and homework between meetings so progress continues outside scheduled sessions.
