Helping you reconnect with your values & get unstuck.
Trauma-informed and Neurodiversity-affirming Online Career Counseling and Therapy for Adults in Ohio and Florida
Hi, I’m Steffi.
I’m happy you’re here! I’m a licensed professional clinical counselor and supervisor (LPCC-S) specializing in the intersection of career and mental health. After years spent helping people navigate their careers, I founded Career Therapy With Steffi with a vision in mind: to help people deconstruct limiting ideas of what a “career” is to begin with, reimagine their professional identity, and design a path forward that feels nourishing and truly representative of who they are. My own career has evolved over time and is now multifaceted. In addition to being a therapist, I’m a trauma yoga facilitator, tattoo artist, and aspiring perfumer. I’m a big believer that a “career” does not need to look any specific way or follow a linear path.
I’m passionate about working with people pleasers and later-diagnosed/identified folks with ADHD and/or Autism, particularly neurodivergent entrepreneurs paving their own path! If you’re feeling depleted after a lifetime spent trying to measure up to neuro-normative expectations or other people’s standards of success, I’d be honored to join you on your journey toward greater understanding, self-compassion, and authenticity.
Does this sound like you?
You hold yourself to an impossibly high standard. You’ve always been praised for your accomplishments, but over time you've been feeling more and more disconnected from yourself. The thought of continuing on your current career path sends you into a spiral of existential malaise, but you feel ashamed for struggling.
This can feel incredibly overwhelming, but might be a sign that you’re on the cusp of growth and transformation.
Let’s illuminate your path toward a deeply fulfilling, value-aligned career and life.

What is Career Therapy?
Career Therapy is my signature approach that combines therapeutic insight and somatic tools with practical, solution-focused career development strategies - it’s essentially therapy that centers your career and professional wellbeing! I believe that mental health and career are often deeply intertwined, so using my clinical background as a psychotherapist and my extensive training and experience in career coaching, I’m here to support you from both of those angles.
I won’t simply send you off with an updated resume and some career test results and call it a day (although we can do those things too), I’m here to guide you through deep, transformative work that will have a lasting impact on your career and life. I create a supportive, affirming space to explore and grow.
How We’ll Work Together
Starting With What Matters Your values aren't abstract concepts – they're the building blocks of a fulfilling career. Together, we'll discover what truly motivates you and use that knowledge to guide your next steps.
Making It Real No more generic advice or personality tests that leave you wondering "now what?" We'll create a plan with personalized, practical goals that bring career clarity and real-world outcomes. Think of it as your roadmap to work that works for you.
Building Confidence Whether you're considering a career change, seeking a promotion, or wanting to feel more fulfilled with your work, we'll develop the tools and confidence you need to move forward.
Ready to get started?
I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can begin to explore your career goals and see if we're a good fit for working together. No pressure, just a quick convo about where you are now and where you'd like to be. I can't wait to hear from you!
