About Stephanie

Stephanie Ehrlich Seitz is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, career concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she brings a compassionate, respectful approach and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s individual needs and goals. Her work also attends to communication difficulties, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions of life purpose, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace struggles.

Stephanie uses evidence-informed methods including Internal Family Systems, ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to offer practical skills and deeper self-understanding. She emphasizes collaboration, meeting clients where they are, and tailoring interventions rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.

Stephanie acknowledges that beginning therapy is a courageous step and offers support in determining when and how to move forward. Prospective clients can expect a professional, sensitive, and individualized process aimed at clarifying priorities and building coping tools for lasting change.

Online Approaches for Skill Building and Self-Understanding

Stephanie integrates Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her online practice. Internal Family Systems helps people notice different parts of themselves, understand their roles, and reduce internal conflict by fostering compassionate inner leadership; it can be useful for balancing strong emotions, shame, and self-criticism. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes identifying values, accepting difficult thoughts or feelings, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life-direction concerns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then blends techniques so the plan fits each person rather than forcing a single method. Clients are invited to reflect on what feels helpful, and adjustments are made over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and lifestyles. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage immediate challenges between sessions, and access therapy from home or work while working toward practical, sustainable change.
