    About Stefani

    Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 17 years of counseling experience and a calm, interactive manner to sessions. She talks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the first meeting.

    She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and mood disorders. She also works with people facing trauma or abuse, relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, and issues like ADHD, bipolar disorder, social anxiety, and seasonal affective disorder.

    Her style is warm and respectful. Stefani uses conversation to uncover what a person wants to change and then helps them set practical steps toward that change. She often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to match the needs of each person.

    She has used hypnotherapy to support people quitting smoking and to assist with weight loss when appropriate. Solution-Focused Therapy informs short-term goal work and problem solving during sessions. Stefani adapts her approach to each person's goals rather than following a single method.

    Stefani emphasizes collaboration and small, manageable steps. She helps people build skills for coping with life changes, improving communication, and boosting self-esteem. If someone is ready to begin, she supports them in setting clear goals and moving forward at their pace.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Stefani often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build readiness for new habits. This approach is useful for goals like quitting smoking, changing behaviors, or working through ambivalence.

    She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. That style helps people feel understood and more able to think through difficult choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice practical skills for mood, anxiety, and stress management.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on short-term problem solving, practicing CBT skills between sessions, or using motivational techniques to support behavior change.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so people can focus on the work. Licensed professionals adapt their methods to what each person needs and to what works best in regular meetings.
