About Stephanie

Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Background and approach

She focuses on mood disorders, self-injury, abuse recovery, and the development of healthier relationships, drawing on a background in mental health counseling and creative arts therapy to offer a flexible set of tools. As an LCMHC and LMHC practicing in New York, she combines practical techniques with a person-centered sensibility to support clients through transitions and crises.

Her approach emphasizes individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Stephanie adapts interventions to match each person's needs, blending cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based and attachment-focused work when appropriate.

She aims to both challenge clients and provide steady support as they pursue personal goals, whether coping with grief, managing anxiety, addressing addiction concerns, or navigating major life changes. Stephanie accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Her practice accommodates a range of communication formats to make ongoing therapy accessible for people with different schedules and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Stephanie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values and learning skills to live more adaptively alongside difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process rather than a one-time prescription. She works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and practical for each individual.

Online formats for her practice include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions while fitting therapy into varied schedules.
