Stephanie Sheridan Gopale, LMSW(She/Her/Hers)

Stephanie Sheridan Gopale is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in supervision based in Massachusetts who works with adults navigating anxiety, persistent worry, trauma, and significant life transitions. Many of her clients are thoughtful, capable, and highly self-aware, yet find themselves feeling overwhelmed internally, disconnected from themselves, or caught in cycles of self-pressure and overthinking. Stephanie is particularly attuned to clients who appear to be functioning well outwardly while struggling quietly with stress, emotional exhaustion, relationship difficulties, or unresolved experiences from the past.

Stephanie’s work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a compassionate and insight-oriented approach that helps clients understand and relate differently to the many parts of themselves that shape their emotions, relationships, and patterns of coping. Her approach is trauma-informed and integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, and psychodynamic understanding to support deeper self-understanding, nervous system regulation, and lasting internal change.

Stephanie approaches therapy collaboratively, with warmth, curiosity, and respect for each client’s pace and lived experience. She believes therapy works best when clients feel emotionally safe, genuinely heard, and empowered to explore their inner world without judgment. Stephanie offers virtual therapy sessions throughout Massachusetts and welcomes clients seeking a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to healing and growth.
