Stephanie Jose

Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor with twenty years of clinical experience. She practices in New York as an LCMHC and LMHC and focuses on helping people navigate stressful life changes and crises. Her work often centers on mood concerns, trauma and relationship struggles, including anger and addiction-related issues.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, so she understands different levels of care. She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions are tailored to the individual and aim to support practical change and clearer thinking.

Stephanie draws on acceptance and commitment ideas along with cognitive and emotion-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to strengthen connection and self-understanding. These methods are used to address things like grief, self-esteem, dissociation, and family-related stress.

Her style combines direct challenges with steady support. She helps people set goals, build coping skills, and reduce behaviors that cause harm. She also brings creative arts therapy experience into sessions when it fits the person’s goals.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that looks at habits, relationships, and practical steps for change. The work is focused on realistic progress and on building skills to handle anger, depression, and other pressing concerns over time.

How treatment approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which many people find useful for mood and anger issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions now, and it helps people shift patterns that affect intimacy and trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person's goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays useful and aligned with what the person hopes to accomplish.

Confirm available session options before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling around work or caregiving, and can reduce travel time. It also allows therapists to use worksheets, skill-building exercises, and in-session coaching just as they would in person, so people can practice new responses between meetings.
