About Stephanie
Stephanie Arzavala-Reed brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with ten years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck by listening first and then working together to set clear, realistic goals.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions often focus on problem-solving skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building everyday coping tools. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Stephanie has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also helps clients facing career strain, compassion fatigue, parenting tensions, and the challenges of major life changes. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and difficulties related to divorce and blended families.
In sessions she provides straightforward skills training and psychoeducation. That can mean practicing new communication habits, learning mindfulness exercises, or trying short experiments between meetings to see what helps. The aim is to make change feel manageable and relevant to daily life.
Stephanie practices in Illinois and offers services in English. She works with people from many backgrounds and tailors treatment to the person in front of her. If someone wants practical tools and an empathetic listener, she aims to provide both.

Online support
Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Stephanie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and practicing small changes that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms and testing new ways of responding to problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so sessions stay focused and relevant to what the person wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, childcare, or travel while maintaining regular contact with a therapist.
