About Stephanie
Stephanie Ehrlich Seitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, career shifts, or life changes. She also helps people facing communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, seasonal mood changes, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach blends practical strategies with reflective work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable action. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills are used to improve emotion regulation and reduce reactivity.
Internal Family Systems ideas are part of how she talks about different parts of the self and how they influence choices. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill practice, and honest conversation rather than jargon. Clients can expect a direct, respectful dialogue aimed at manageable steps forward.
Stephanie frames the work as collaborative. She listens to what matters most, then suggests techniques and small experiments to try between meetings. For someone questioning career direction or wanting more meaning after a life change, she helps sort options, weigh trade-offs, and plan next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward what matters. It helps when someone feels directionless after a job change or relationship shift. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that help when anger or intense feelings get in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying ACT exercises for values-based decisions, practicing CBT techniques for worry, or learning DBT skills to manage strong emotions. The choice evolves with feedback from the client.
