About Stephanie

Stephanie Hartman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing addictions, trauma, anxiety, relationship and family problems, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on ten years of clinical work to guide clients through challenges such as parenting stress, career concerns, ADHD, and recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, body image, codependency, dissociation, fertility-related stress, and blended family dynamics.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect, creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore patterns and build practical skills. Stephanie uses evidence-informed tools to strengthen communication, increase emotional regulation, and support healthier coping strategies.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the approaches she integrates, alongside mindfulness and motivational techniques that encourage present-focused awareness and forward movement. Clients encounter a practitioner who combines warmth with structured interventions, aiming to foster self-understanding and actionable change.

With a focus on individualized care, she works with each person to identify goals and tailor interventions that fit their history and values, supporting growth through realistic, measurable steps.

Online approaches that combine skills and compassion

Stephanie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into online work to provide both practical skills and emotional regulation. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood, while DBT teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance that supports clients in exploring their own goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process: the therapist will discuss needs, preferences, and goals with each person and adjust methods over time to fit what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Stephanie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow follow-up between sessions, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
