About Steffani

Steffani Lynn-Schmidt Hammitt is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Alabama. She brings four years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people seeking change.

She helps people untangle relationship and family conflicts in straightforward, calm sessions. Parenting challenges and separation or divorce concerns are part of her regular work.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with attention and focus difficulties related to ADHD and with anxiety, stress, and intimacy worries. Her approach draws on a few well-known methods. She uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and habits, and emotionally focused techniques to work on deeper emotional connection.

Narrative therapy is also part of her toolbox when people want to reframe their personal story. In sessions she listens first, then tailors conversation and the plan to fit each person's needs. She values respect, sensitivity, and compassion and keeps language clear and practical.

Expect direct guidance, gentle questioning, and concrete steps to try between meetings. Steffani works with adults who want better relationships, clearer focus, or relief from anxiety and stress. She offers several online formats and accepts international clients, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.

Online support

Gottman, CBT, EFT ideas in online therapy

Steffani uses elements of the Gottman Method to notice and change repeated relationship patterns and to strengthen communication between partners. That work focuses on what couples do and say to each other and on building small habits that improve connection.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing focus or attention challenges because it breaks problems into clear steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques help when emotions feel stuck; EFT looks at underlying feelings and helps people respond to each other with more warmth and safety.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods likely to help. Plans can combine elements from different approaches and change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for focused conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for ongoing support between appointments or when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into daily life.
