Stefi is an incredible therapist who listens, encourages and offers considerate and appropriate redirect when necessary without being condescending or disrespectful. She truly understands what it means to be inclusive, personal and professional in the best possible ways. I have never felt more comfortable and open with a counselor and I have tried many.

More about Stefi

  • LSCSW

Welcome - I am so glad you have made it here!

My name is Stefi and I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in the state of Kansas. I have experience working in a domestic violence shelter, a residential/intensive outpatient substance abuse program, an in-home family reunification and preservation program, a children's psychiatric hospital and residential treatment program, and have previously provided case management for foster care/permanency and refugee resettlement programs. I have experience working with clients struggling with trauma, abuse/neglect, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, interpersonal conflict, family conflict, dissociation, compassion fatigue/burnout, career challenges, future planning, disordered eating, communication challenges, and navigating difficult life transitions.

My counseling style is laid-back, with a non-judgmental focus on client-centered empowerment. I believe everyone is worthy of love, respect, and compassion and need only the proper tools and connection to thrive. I believe we all are doing the best that we can with the tools and resources currently at our disposal. That being said, if there are areas of your life lacking fulfillment or causing you distress, let's add to your toolbox together. I have extensive experience using cognitive-behavioral, solutions-focused, and narrative approaches to help my clients achieve their therapeutic goals. I often use humor and everyday language to be relatable and inviting in session but rely on my clinical judgement to appropriately pair my approach to best meet the unique needs/preferences of each client. My goal is to listen to your story, sit with you in that experience, and collaborate with you to design a tailor-made treatment plan to move you forward on the path to healing.

It takes incredible courage and vulnerability to take the first steps towards change, and I'm so glad you have. If you are ready to take the next steps and feel I would be a good fit to do so with you, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Stevie has been a game changer in helping c me process life! I feel like I can openly discuss issues with her without judgement.

Stefi has been a wonderful counselor and I am so thankful that she chose to work with me. She is attentive and always keeps her patient's comfort and best interest at heart. I can tell that she genuinely cares about me and what I am going through even though we haven't met, simply by the way she is adamant about checking in on me. She is willing to work around my life schedule when scheduling live sessions, and always puts my needs first. It has only been a week with Stefi, and I am extremely grateful already that we are working together. I am thrilled to see the things she can assist me with and the positive changes my life has coming.

I feel that Stefi Metzger is the best counselor I could have gotten matched with. Not only did she fit the demographics I was asking for, she is extremely knowledgable in her therapy methods, writes me back with very thoughtful insights, picks great worksheets for me, listens well, is able to take what I am saying and use it as a tool for me to use in a worksheet, and gives good advice. I am excited to continue working with her.
