About Stephanie
Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. She practices in New York and meets people where they are. She helps with mood struggles, stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related issues among other worries.
Stephanie has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings over two decades. That experience shaped a practical approach to crisis and life transitions. She uses conversational techniques and creative methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Her style is direct and collaborative. Stephanie listens first, then tailors interventions to fit each person’s needs. She encourages people to identify goals and take small steps toward them while also challenging unhelpful habits and beliefs.
Therapeutic methods she uses include cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These are applied flexibly to issues like codependency, self-esteem, eating concerns, substance use, trauma, and parenting stress.
She frames therapy as a process of building insight and practical skills rather than a one-size-fits-all fix. Sessions are meant to help people manage symptoms, improve relationships, and move toward values-driven action. If someone wants a thoughtful, experienced clinician who offers straightforward guidance, Stephanie aims to provide that support.
Background and approach: Stephanie holds the credential Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, listed as LCMHC and LMHC. She uses talk-based work alongside creative techniques to help people find what works for them. Her focus is on real-world changes and steady progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, depression, codependency, and life changes by shifting attention to meaningful action rather than symptom elimination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that began early in life and how they affect current connections; it can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and repairing trust.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before scheduling. Many people find that remote sessions can fit into busy days more easily, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins during life transitions. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice and brief homework between meetings, which can work well in virtual sessions. Discuss practical scheduling needs when you set up the first appointment to find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
