About Stephanie
Stephanie Collins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of practice in California. She focuses on common and painful struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self esteem, and ADHD. Stephanie aims to offer steady, practical support that helps people manage day-to-day pressures and emotional overwhelm.
Her approach blends talking and body-focused work. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to look at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior. She also brings mindfulness and somatic breath work into sessions to address how stress shows up in the body and the nervous system.
Stephanie adapts the pace and focus to each person. Conversations are guided by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She works with clients to set clear goals and tries to keep tools simple and usable between sessions.
With two decades in practice, Stephanie draws on a lot of clinical experience while keeping the work down to earth. She helps people build confidence and healthier habits, and she addresses panic, social anxiety, isolation, and effects of trauma when they come up.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys walking her dog, practicing hot yoga, and cooking. That everyday grounding informs a calm, steady style in sessions. If someone is ready to explore change, she offers a supportive space for that first step.
