​
While working in a virtual capacity, Steffanie works mainly with adults. Her counseling background began with a focus on working with children and adolescents in a variety of
treatment settings. Her focus since 2013 has been treatment with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment to life’s major stressors including concerns in marriage, with parenting, divorce, and employment changes. Steffanie is versed in many treatment
modalities, as she teaches them to aspiring future counselors, but tends to focus on cognitive- behavioral, person-centered, systems focused, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy techniques depending on the client’s needs.
Steffanie has a passion for helping others achieve their goals as they relate to mental health and personal growth. She places emphasis on validating the experience of those she works with while helping them learn and implement techniques to address their current concerns.
Steffanie can meet with anyone in the State of Iowa virtually, which eliminates physical access barriers of transportation, drive time, inclement weather, and illness.
Steffanie began her career with RISE in February 2025.
