About Stephanie

Stephanie Charles is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strains, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on clients' existing strengths and collaborates with them to build motivation, confidence, and practical coping strategies. Stephanie affirms that clients are the experts of their own stories and works to create a supportive space where goals and values guide each step.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including bipolar disorder, parenting challenges, stress and burnout, attention-related struggles such as ADHD, and process addictions. She also attends to issues like communication difficulties, isolation, multicultural concerns, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Stephanie offers compassionate coaching around career decisions, self-esteem, and postnatal mood shifts while tailoring interventions to each person's needs and pace.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Stephanie integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, and addictive behaviors; this helps people reduce distress and increase functioning through small, concrete steps. Another approach centers on identifying strengths, enhancing motivation, and improving communication to address relationship strains, self-esteem concerns, and problems with impulse control such as process addictions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stephanie works together with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, adapting methods over time so the plan aligns with the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and fit sessions into daily life while working toward measurable progress.
