Stephanie Wittig, LPC

Stephanie Wittig is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people feel and act. She centers sessions on what matters most to each person and uses practical strategies to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address addictions and trauma. Stephanie speaks plainly and keeps work grounded in real life. She frames the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often include thinking patterns, coping skills, and small habit changes that add up over time. Stephanie supports people who are working through anger and the lasting effects of abuse or traumatic events. Her background includes six years of professional experience in mental health settings. That time has given her experience with a range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, family of origin challenges, and codependency. She also addresses practical stresses faced by caregivers and people navigating divorce and separation. In sessions she draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those approaches are used to examine thought patterns, build new behaviors, and develop emotion regulation skills. People can expect a collaborative, straightforward approach that focuses on small, manageable changes. Stephanie encourages clients to set concrete goals and to practice new habits between meetings. She aims to make therapy useful and easy to apply in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's own strengths. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people name goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it teaches simple exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and change routines that maintain stress or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills, useful when anger or intense emotions interfere with daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, and they will adjust based on how helpful those methods feel. Goals, preferences, and daily routines guide that decision, so changes are practical and realistic. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins between longer appointments. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in the moments they come up, so new habits can be tested and refined in everyday life.
