About Steffani

Steffani Lynn-Schmidt Hammitt is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Alabama with four years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship and family dynamics, parenting challenges, and issues related to concentration and focus such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses stress, anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, attachment difficulties, divorce and separation, and women's issues. She approaches each client interaction with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversation and treatment plans to match individual circumstances.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside emotionally focused and relational methods, which she blends to address both thoughts and patterns in relationships. Steffani views the decision to seek change as a courageous step and aims to support clients through that process with personalized care and practical strategies that fit their goals and life situations.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Adapted for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress and to improve everyday functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and strengthening attachment bonds, helping clients navigate intimacy and relationship patterns. These methods can be used together to address both individual thinking habits and relational dynamics.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and life context and tailor techniques from these approaches to fit your needs. That process includes trying strategies, tracking what helps, and adjusting the focus to align with changing priorities and outcomes.

Online therapy with Steffani is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or on the go, and choose the format that best suits a client's communication style and day-to-day life.
