About Steffani
Steffani Lynn-Schmidt Hammitt is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Alabama. She brings four years of clinical experience to people facing parenting and relationship challenges. Her work centers on clear, practical conversations that help parents and individuals find workable steps forward.
She focuses on parenting concerns, family conflict, and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with attention and focus problems often described as ADHD, along with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her approach is respectful and warm, aiming to match each session to what a person actually needs that week. Sessions usually start by identifying immediate goals and a few practical strategies to try between meetings. She uses evidence-informed methods to guide those strategies while keeping the focus on what feels doable for the client.
Expect straightforward talk, targeted skills, and time to reflect on what’s changing. Steffani pays attention to attachment concerns and the effects of separation or divorce on parenting and relationships. She also brings sensitivity to women's issues and how life transitions affect daily routines and self-image.
Progress is measured in concrete changes people notice at home and in their closest relationships. Her work style is collaborative and adaptive. She helps people break bigger problems into small, testable steps.
For parents feeling overwhelmed or anyone seeking clearer patterns in their relationships, she aims to make therapy practical and approachable.

How her approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift patterns in close relationships. It focuses on feelings and the interactions that follow, which can be useful for parenting tensions and intimacy-related concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build small behavior changes for anxiety, stress, and attention challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs and circumstances evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, flexible contact for follow-ups or quick coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or into different time zones.
