Stephanie Tumba

Stephanie Tumba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, relationship or family problems, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Stephanie writes and talks with clients in a direct, respectful way aimed at steady progress.

She works by tailoring conversations and plans to each person. That means she listens first to understand what matters most to you. Then she and the client set clear, achievable steps to try between sessions. Sessions are collaborative and practical rather than long lectures.

Stephanie uses a mix of approaches that focus on thoughts, actions, and present-moment awareness. She pulls from cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-oriented practices to handle difficult feelings, and mindfulness skills to build calm and focus. Motivational interviewing and dialectical skills appear when people need help with change or emotion regulation.

She has seven years of professional experience and holds the LMHC credential, licensed in Washington. Her background includes work with a wide range of life stresses and emotional concerns, including grief, trauma, sleep problems, and caregiver strain. Stephanie aims to make therapy useful and manageable for daily life.

If you are looking for steady guidance and practical tools, she offers a supportive, goal-focused approach and helps clients find what works for them.

How therapy methods translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small meaningful actions even when feelings are hard. It can help people who feel stuck or who want more direction in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving how people handle conflict and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it lets them fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and use brief check-ins when life is hectic. It can also make it easier to practice techniques between meetings and to build skills that apply directly to everyday routines. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and pacing so therapy fits the client's schedule and needs.
