Stephanie Tumba , LMHC

Stephanie Tumba is a licensed mental health counselor with more than seven years of professional experience, licensed in Washington and Nevada. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence challenges, depression, and major life transitions. Stephanie centers her work on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a space where individuals feel heard and acknowledged. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s circumstances, preferences, and goals, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Recognizing that reaching out for help is often a courageous first step, Stephanie emphasizes collaboration and steady support throughout the therapeutic process. Her approach is practical and person-centered, helping clients build coping skills and move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life while honoring the unique path each person follows. She is committed to walking alongside clients as they navigate change and growth.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Convenient Online Care

Stephanie integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her practice to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on practical strategies that can be applied between sessions. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which combines mindfulness and values-based goal setting to help people accept difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to meaningful actions in their lives. When appropriate, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are offered to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the plan remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Stephanie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
