Stephanie Nunez

Stephanie Nunez is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma. She speaks English and Spanish and works from New York to support people through difficult life moments. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy lives.

She focuses on everyday struggles such as loneliness, social anxiety, panic attacks, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth challenges, chronic pain or illness, and recovery after sexual assault or abuse. Stephanie helps clients address guilt, shame, and the effects of narcissistic relationships while navigating blended family dynamics.

Her style is trauma-informed and person-centered. That means listening first, noticing your strengths, and moving at a pace that feels manageable. She emphasizes cultural responsiveness and works to create an environment where people feel heard and respected.

In sessions she collaborates with clients to set small, achievable goals. Conversations are aimed at practical changes you can use between meetings. She tailors support to each person’s situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Stephanie values clear communication and honest teamwork. She encourages people to bring their concerns and questions up front so they can shape the work together. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach she uses helps people learn tools to manage anxiety and panic by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping routines that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on processing trauma in a careful, paced way so memories and reactions become easier to manage and cause less disruption to daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, cultural background, and comfort level. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels relevant and doable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations when a short check-in would help. Speak with her during the matching process to learn which session options are offered and what will best fit your routine.
