About Stephanie
Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She practices in New York as an LCMHC and an LMHC. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and difficult life events.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background guides how she matches support to each situation. Stephanie focuses on mood disorders, self-injury, abuse, and building healthier relationship patterns.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person.
How Stephanie works
Sessions emphasize practical skills and honest conversation. The aim is to help clients gain insight, try new strategies, and move toward clear goals. Stephanie describes therapy as a tailored process, not a one-size-fits-all model.
She will challenge people when needed and offer steady support. The work balances encouragement with concrete steps for change. Her practice also addresses a broad range of concerns such as grief, addiction, eating and body image issues, parenting stress, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to attachment, abandonment, communication, and patterns like codependency. Clients can expect a direct, compassionate style that focuses on what matters now. Conversations are grounded in techniques from cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, attachment-based, client-centered, and dialectical approaches.
The emphasis is on real-world coping and clearer, healthier choices.

Online support options
How Stephanie Uses Different Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; this approach often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so sessions match the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a near face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
