About Stefani
Stefani Dzikiy-Wasil is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience in Pennsylvania. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and other mood concerns. She also supports those managing trauma or abuse and individuals coping with life changes and parenting stress.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than jargon. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals.
Conversations are guided by respect and sensitivity.
Background and approach
Stefani draws from client-centered methods to make sessions feel collaborative. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. Solution-focused work helps break problems into manageable parts and build quick wins.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change, and hypnotherapy in specific cases such as smoking cessation. When relevant, Stefani tailors interventions to fit each person’s pace and needs rather than applying a single formula. Practical tools and homework are common parts of the process.
Clients can expect clear suggestions to try between sessions and regular check-ins on progress. The aim is steady, usable change that fits daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their priorities. Sessions center on active listening and helping clients identify their own strengths, which fits well into conversational online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors through simple exercises and homework. It adapts easily to video and messaging because tools and worksheets can be shared and practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on how things are going, with regular check-ins to measure progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting schedules, work breaks, or other commitments while keeping momentum between appointments.
