Stephanie Maxwell

Stephanie Maxwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. Stephanie aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for everyday life.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and take steps that match their values. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address painful emotional cycles. Mindfulness and body-based strategies are added when they help with grounding and regulation.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. She treats therapy as a shared process where the client’s experience guides the work. That can look like learning new coping skills, practicing different ways of communicating, or making changes that reduce daily overwhelm.

Stephanie has supported people dealing with long-term health issues, caregiver stress, identity questions, and complex family or communication problems. She also has experience addressing concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and challenges related to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

If you are facing separation or divorce-related stress, she includes practical planning and emotional processing in the work. To begin, use the platform’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your calendar.

How therapy approaches guide remote care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and moving through life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people create different ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting painful emotional cycles in relationships and individual distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest which methods might fit best. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments, or caregiving duties. It can also let you check in with shorter appointments or avoid travel time, which helps maintain consistency during stressful periods.
