Stephanie Loda, LCSW

Stephanie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  She graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a master’s degree in Social Work and sees clients across the lifespan providing individual, couples and family therapy.  Prior to starting with Manfre & Associates, she worked for a non-profit, community counseling center, focusing on the needs of older adults and family caregivers.  She has extensive experience addressing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions.

Stephanie recognizes that all therapeutic change happens because of the relationship between the client and the therapist.  She has developed an integrated approach, drawing on self psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relationship theory.  She focuses on building rapport with her clients, working with them to identify therapy goals and measuring progress towards those goals.  Her focus is always on what the client wants to address, feeling honored to accompany them on their journey.

Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys gardening, baking, spending time with her pets, and watching sports on TV.
