About Stephanie
Stephanie Hrit is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of professional experience. She is licensed in Michigan and practices with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and transitions in life. Stephanie uses straightforward conversation to help people sort what feels most urgent and what can wait.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns and strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness methods and Motivational Interviewing show up when clients want tools for grounding and for building momentum toward goals.
In a typical session Stephanie talks through concrete situations and reactions. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and evaluate what works. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on steps someone can test between meetings.
Her additional experience includes work with issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and coping after disasters. She also has experience related to Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and personality concerns when they affect daily life.
Stephanie offers services in English and works from the perspective of social work practice. People who are unsure what to do next after a job, relationship, or health change can begin by completing a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stephanie often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on the person's immediate concerns and priorities. This approach centers on listening and responding to what the client says so sessions address the issues that feel most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and test thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood; CBT tools translate well to online work through worksheets and brief homework tasks. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are practical techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and these can be taught and practiced in conversation during remote sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the particular problem they want to address. She adjusts techniques over time based on what a client finds helpful and what shows measurable change.
