About Stephanie
Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 20 years of experience to her work in New York. She holds the credential LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) in Vermont and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, mood changes, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and uses that background to guide practical, grounded care.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. Stephanie aims to tailor each session rather than apply a one-size-fits-all plan. Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance work to address unhelpful thoughts and build flexible coping.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Stephanie often helps people facing addiction, self-injury history, trauma and abuse, or difficulties with eating and body image. She also supports those coping with life transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex family problems.
The work tends to combine practical skill building with conversations about meaning and past patterns. Communication is direct but compassionate. She will challenge clients when needed and support them toward concrete goals.
People who want clear tools and honest feedback may find her style a good fit.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking values-based action. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for worry, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy, codependency, and family problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences. Together they will try methods that match the person's needs and adjust as progress is made so the plan stays collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a break. Live chat or text messaging is useful for brief updates, coaching prompts, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while using the therapist's chosen approaches.
