About Stefani
Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 17 years of counseling experience and a calm, approachable manner to sessions. She focuses on common struggles parents and adults face, such as stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and life transitions.
Her work often covers relationship and family concerns as well as parenting-related stress. She also helps people dealing with grief, trauma or abuse, and with challenges like ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and seasonal affective disorder. Stefani supports people who want to stop smoking or vaping and those coping with social anxiety and phobias.
Stefani uses a warm, interactive style in the room. Conversation is straightforward and respectful. She combines Client-Centered techniques with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused work, and also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change.
Hypnotherapy has been part of her approach for goals like smoking cessation and weight control, when appropriate. She adapts the plan to each person’s circumstances rather than following a fixed script. Sessions are tailored to the goals a client brings.
Stefani emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional support. She aims to help people notice small shifts that build into bigger change. If someone is ready to start, she guides them through the next steps toward clearer thinking and steadier coping.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It aims to help people feel heard, build trust, and find their own solutions to stress, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Treatment is adjusted over time so methods match the client’s needs rather than sticking to a single technique.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and make shorter check-ins possible during a work break. It can also allow sessions without needing to be on camera or with simpler audio-only arrangements if that better suits a person’s schedule and comfort. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to focus on practical steps and steady progress.
