Yeesss!! First of all, you’re basically my mentor in my head 😂 this is such great practical and applicable information! I’m in an online grad program for mft so your channel is so helpful for me getting more insight into the field!

[@StephAnya]

I love that! Thanks for this great suggestion!

[@carlabutler1608]

Which program? What do you think of it?

[@ronnishaalaine8397]

@@carlabutler1608 I go to Capella University. I have no complaints, it's been a great program for me!

[@rmy_Youtube]

This was very interesting to watch. I have always wondered what a therapist's notes looked like. I feel like I just got a sneak peek inside the teachers lounge or gradebook 😂

[@StephAnya]

Haha love that!

[@NDObeats]

I’m not a therapist but this is interesting to know how the note process works. Very informative!

[@latoshap7707]

I’m in grad school now and I have an assignment due next Monday on progress notes. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video because now I know how to map out these notes, and what to consider noting.

[@BronxHummingbird]

Your video was SO HELPFUL!!! I was doing the same - long progress notes with too many details. As an MFT grad student, I wonder how taking notes in sessions conflict with you being fully present during your sessions. My program stresses as MFTs, we want to be fully present and refrain from taking notes in sessions but I find it very difficult to remember important information with my clients without taking notes during the session. It was stressing me out! Thanks for the outline. I'm going to implement it right away!

[@emilyjohnson3882]

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for this helpful video 🙏🏻💜

[@riechellemcallister3041]

Another great video!

[@tshedim3541]

Steph Thank you for all your wonderful videos.. My assignment for this week is on progress notes and this is very helpful. Thank you, thank you 🙏 🌺

[@bernardalopezrodriguez3841]

A lot of great information! I love your channel. Becoming an MFT has been a career that I been wanting to pursuit. I am currently back in college & your videos have been very helpful on a lot of the expectations. Thank you!!

[@StephAnya]

So happy to hear that you’re finding them helpful. Thanks for sharing, Bernarda!

[@tracydobbins7805]

What great information I will use this going forward when doing notes.

[@ivie848]

Haha I’m back here because we’re getting to that point in mock sessions haha! 😂 Love it!

[@AliciaKindleReads]

Soooooo helpful! Thank you so much

[@MindenV]

This is so helpful!

[@kevintaylor5117]

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Plus, that was the first time one of my comments was featured in a video! Keep up the great videos. I like the editing and simplicity of your set up.

[@StephAnya]

Glad to hear that!!

[@z_z7976]

Thanks for satisfying my curiousity!

[@stephenyates4749]

Very good job at disseminating useful and practical information. Bravo!

[@StephAnya]

Aww thank you ♥️

[@sweetsnejinka9411]

Love this

[@ittakesavillage-tostopsext3587]

Thank you, this was very beneficial.

[@jaceycamryn3042]

I think I subbed below/around 10k when I was just starting my MFT program. My first day of taking clients is tomorrow and Im back studying with these videos & so happy to see your growth/progress as a therapist. Congratulations and thank you so much!!!

[@StephAnya]

Ah, what a great comment to end the day on. Good luck on your first clients! When in doubt, just ask an open-ended question. Thanks for sticking around here for so long! Come back and let me know how it went if you can.

[@ritav793]

I loved this one!!

[@StephAnya]

So glad!

[@alexandergriggs2823]

Could you do a video about building therapeutic alliances with your clients?

[@StephAnya]

That's a great idea! Thank you!

[@sumatinair]

Thank you so much. The video really helped me to make my note taking more structured. Can you do a video on intake notes also?

[@raynikasmith8591]

I love her engery

[@AliciaKindleReads]

Is there anyway you can do a video on the different jobs we can get as a licensed MFT and even not licensed? Like the different micro and macro level jobs?

[@dealzalewis457]

Another great video! Thank you for taking the time and doing these, it’s so helpful. I have a request for a video, I’m currently in an online counseling program and would love if you could talk about your experience finding practicum and internship sites, and supervisors. When your school is not in the state you live in or plan on practicing in, does it make it harder to find internships? Thank you for any insight you can provide.

[@StephAnya]

Hi Dealza! I have a few videos on this topic. Look up any of them that say “NCU” or “Internship.” I’ll try to make a playlist soon!

[@juliannaokike3359]

Magical Gardens of Philadelphia, Please touch museum and Build a Bear and the zoo are all places Cool to take the kids.

[@teamlovepanda]

What if you discussed SOAP, PROGRESS NOTES and everything else related to note taking 😅 please

[@susiedisney6224]

Have you done a video on the National Association Code of Ethics.

[@raynikasmith8591]

what if you but dates but no notes is it still anote

[@kimberlyolson8875]

What is a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist? I though there were Licensed MFT's and an Associate was someone who was unlicensed or what we used to call an intern? Not evocative, just curious.
