About Stephanie
Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, and relationship and intimacy issues. Stephanie aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels hard and find practical steps forward.
Stephanie uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices small skills to change them. That can look like testing new behaviors between sessions, trying breathing and grounding for overwhelming moments, or breaking problems into manageable steps.
Her background includes work with trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. She also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Stephanie pays attention to how past experiences affect present reactions and relationships.
In sessions she listens carefully and tailors the approach to each person's goals. Techniques often come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical skills, emotionally focused strategies, and mindfulness practices. The aim is to build skills that fit into daily life and lead to steady progress.
Stephanie notes that she currently offers chat-based sessions only. She encourages people to prepare goals for their time together and to expect a collaborative process focused on realistic change.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters to them. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to figure out goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving frustration tolerance. It can be useful for people who want clearer ways to cope with intense feelings or conflict.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made.
The therapist's profile indicates chat-only sessions at this time. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what format will be used.
