About Stephanie
Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with ten years of experience. She uses a straightforward, people-focused style to help clients manage stress and anxiety and to cope with life changes. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental setting where clients can talk through upsetting thoughts and find practical tools.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving sleep, reducing panic attacks, or managing mood swings.
Background and approach
Stephanie also addresses relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and issues around self-esteem. Her work blends client-centered conversations with evidence-informed techniques. That can include identifying patterns that keep problems going, practicing new skills for strong emotions, and using mindfulness to reduce overwhelm.
The aim is to build skills that people can use outside sessions. Stephanie has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, obsessive and compulsive behaviors, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and codependency. She also supports people facing forgiveness, guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented while staying responsive to each persons pace. Many contacts happen online through chat, phone, or video, and she is open to messaging between sessions when it fits with regular appointment time. She does not provide legal or court documentation.
To start, a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone with the right scheduling options.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify goals so work stays relevant to everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, address panic attacks, and improve sleep and mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful for overwhelming anger, mood swings, and self-harm urges by offering clear coping strategies to use in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier around work, childcare, or other commitments. Phone sessions can be a quicker option when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging allow short check-ins between meetings and can help maintain momentum between scheduled sessions.
