About Stephanie
Stephanie Jose is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with 20 years of practice. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, and related issues. She sees clients in New York and offers sessions in English, and she accepts international clients.
Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That has involved helping people through life transitions, crises, and mood disorders. Stephanie also has training as a creative arts therapist, which she draws on when it fits a person's needs.
In sessions she uses several practical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She aims to help people develop skills they can use day to day. Conversations focus on what is causing distress and on small, workable steps to change patterns.
She describes her process as direct and collaborative. She will listen, ask questions, and suggest strategies that match a person's goals and preferences. She also pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics that affect how people cope at home.
Stephanie notes that there is no single solution that fits everyone. She adjusts her style to what a person needs and challenges them to make changes while supporting their goals. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can take steps that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behavior with practical skills. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping; it can help when relationship habits, abandonment concerns, or attachment issues are part of the problem.Choosing the best approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about what they want to work on, try out strategies, and adjust the method based on what helps. That means approaches can be mixed and adapted as goals and preferences become clearer.
The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use methods like ACT or CBT in the moment when daily life brings up the issues they want to work on.
