About Stephanie
Stephanie Zitani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
She centers her work on the client’s strengths, approaching each person as the expert of their own story while offering guidance to build motivation, confidence, and more effective coping skills. Her practice addresses a wide range of difficulties including grief, anger, mood disorders, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and process or substance-related addictions.
Stephanie blends evidence-informed methods to help clients address attachment and communication patterns, codependency, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She emphasizes practical steps and collaborative goal-setting to support meaningful change.
People who choose her benefit from a respectful, supportive posture that balances empathy with skill-building. Whether someone seeks relief from acute symptoms or wants to develop long-term resilience, she partners with clients to identify priorities and tailor interventions that fit their needs and values.
Practical Approaches for Online Change
This practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and personal strengths. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic coping. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore values, build self-awareness, and draw on their own strengths to move forward.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be shaped together. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, set goals, and select techniques that fit their preferences and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions around busy schedules and to use a mix of real-time conversation and shorter written check-ins when helpful. Such options support continuity of care and allow clients to practice skills between sessions using the medium that feels most accessible to them.
