I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families navigate some of life's most difficult moments — including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. My background spans a wide range of settings and presenting concerns, and over the years I've also worked as a licensed clinical supervisor, mentoring newer clinicians as they build their own practices. I practice virtually, so you can access care from wherever you're most comfortable. Whether you've been in therapy before or are just starting out, you'll find my approach warm, direct, and focused on what actually helps you move forward.
I believe in providing a safe, supportive space for individuals seeking growth, healing, and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in genuine connection—I believe real change happens when you feel truly seen and understood. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, or major life transitions, we’ll work together to help you build the tools and confidence to move forward.
Hi! My name is Stefanie. I began my learning as a therapist at the University of Pennsylvania where I earned my Master of Social Work degree. I have worked with individuals experiencing difficulties with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, life transitions, and discovering their identity.
Welcome! Allow me to introduce myself! I am a dually licensed professional counselor and I use a combination of CBT and client centered approaches to help my clients! - it wouldn’t be unlike me to ask what your “theme song” is! I’ve been working in the mental health field for over 20 years using play, music and art to facilitate growth! Occasionally my kitty Booger likes to pop up and say hi!
I have over 10 years of experience in a wide variety of clinical settings since obtaining my Master's degree and becoming a licensed clinician. I use a client centered approach that draws from my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, and a trauma-informed approach. I have worked with people struggling with addictions, a wide variety of anxiety related difficulties, ADHD, depression, and some bodily focused repetitive behaviors. I also have experience working with couples to address relationship needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Finding the right OCD therapist in Newark starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is typically addressed with specialized approaches like exposure and response prevention (ERP) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Some people may choose to discuss treatment options, including medication support, with a qualified psychiatrist. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has direct experience working with OCD.
Newark has a range of mental health providers, and narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, speaks your language, or has experience with a specific OCD subtype. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.
Therapy in Newark can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
