About Me
Hi, I’m Stephanie Jeret, MS, CCC-SLP
I’m a licensed speech-language pathologist and the founder of Speak with Stephanie. I provide in-home and online speech therapy for children, teens, and adults across Skokie and the North Shore of Illinois, as well as teletherapy in New York.
I help clients become more confident, effective communicators through individualized, evidence-based speech therapy that focuses on real-life communication—not just structured drills or isolated practice.
My work focuses on improving clarity, confidence, and functional communication in everyday settings.
My Approach to Speech Therapy
My approach is individualized, functional, and centered around each client’s real communication needs.
Rather than focusing only on correct production in structured tasks, I help clients build skills that carry over into everyday conversations at home, school, work, and social situations.
Therapy is tailored to each individual and may include structured practice, play-based activities, conversation-based work, and functional strategies depending on age and goals.
A key part of my work is also supporting communication confidence—because being able to use your voice comfortably is just as important as producing sounds or sentences correctly.
What Sessions Are Like
Each session is designed around the client’s goals, age, and communication needs.
For children, sessions are often interactive and play-based to keep engagement high while targeting speech and language goals in a natural way.
For teens and adults, sessions focus more on functional communication, self-advocacy, and real-world strategies that can be used in daily life.
Across all ages, I work closely with families and caregivers so that progress continues beyond the therapy session and carries into everyday communication.
Areas I Work With
I provide speech and language therapy for children, teens, and adults with a range of communication needs, including:
Why I Do This Work
I became a speech-language pathologist because communication shapes everything—how we connect, learn, advocate for ourselves, and express who we are.
I’ve seen how meaningful it is when a child becomes more easily understood, when a teen gains confidence speaking in class, or when an adult is able to regain or strengthen communication after injury or change.
Those moments of progress are what drive my work every day.
Certifications
Lidcombe Program
The Lidcombe Program is a behavioral treatment for children who stutter under 6 years of age (may be suitable for some older children). This form of therapy uses a combination of therapy sessions and parental day-to-day observations to ultimately either remove the stutter entirely or reach an extremely low level.

LSVT LOUD
LSVT LOUD® is an effective speech treatment for individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and other neurological conditions. Published research data support improvements in vocal loudness, intonation, and voice quality for individuals with PD who received LSVT LOUD, with improvements maintained up to two years after treatment. Treatment is administered in 16 sessions over a single month (four individual 60-minute sessions per week). Patients are trained to self-generate the adequate amount of loudness to make their speech understood.
