About Stephanie

Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She practices in New York and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, grief, and addiction concerns. Stephanie emphasizes clear, practical support and straightforward conversation to help people manage everyday struggles.

Her background includes inpatient and outpatient settings, so she is familiar with crisis moments and longer-term change. She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.

Background and approach

That means sessions may include skills practice, mood tracking, or talking exercises adapted to the situation. Stephanie pays particular attention to relationship and attachment issues, including intimacy challenges, communication problems, and codependency patterns. She also supports people coping with trauma, self-injury history, eating and body-image concerns, and the effects of burnout or compassion fatigue.

ADHD is listed among her areas of focus and can be discussed in sessions. Her style balances challenge and encouragement. She will offer direct feedback when helpful and set practical steps to reach short-term goals.

At the same time she aims to create a steady space for reflection and recovery. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, while leaving room for what matters most to the client. Stephanie works with each person to build clearer routines, reduce overwhelming feelings, and regain a sense of control over daily life.

Approach-based care you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them. It emphasizes values-driven action so someone can move toward what matters even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people repair trust, improve communication, and feel more supported in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie uses the first sessions to understand a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and then suggests which approaches to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care and to practice skills in real-life routines.
