About Stephanie
Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She practices in New York and brings straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. Stephanie is a LCMHC and an LMHC who listens first and helps clients find clear next steps.
She began in inpatient settings and later worked in outpatient care, gaining broad experience with mood disorders, self-injury, and abuse.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she responds to crisis and hard transitions. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded, focused on what will help each person move forward. Her approach draws on several methods including cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance-based strategies, and attachment-focused work.
Stephanie adapts techniques to the needs of the person in front of her rather than applying one fixed method. She mixes skills training, reflective conversation, and real-world practice assignments. Clients who contact her typically want clear communication, straightforward feedback, and plans they can use between sessions.
Stephanie balances challenge with support and helps people set realistic goals. She also offers coaching-style guidance for life changes and parenting stress. Sessions are offered in English and she sees clients in New York as well as international clients online.
Her practice uses multiple formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and circumstances.

How Stephanie’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by shifting attention toward doable steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships; this work can help people understand communication, trust, and intimacy problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors with practical exercises and homework to change responses to stress and mood symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Stephanie helps clients weigh options and decide together which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She combines techniques when that will better serve the person rather than sticking to a single protocol.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different days and tasks. Video sessions let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work through life transitions.
