About Stephanie
Stephanie Hartman is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience helping people manage addictions, trauma, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, career transitions, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She emphasizes practical tools alongside emotional insight so clients can improve communication, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate major life changes with greater clarity. Her work is rooted in a compassionate, accepting stance that supports people as they address family dynamics, parenting challenges, body image concerns, and complex trauma histories.
Stephanie blends evidence-based interventions with collaborative coaching to build coping strategies for substance use recovery, attachment wounds, dissociation, and the everyday pressures of work and relationships. Clients encounter a balanced mix of skill-building and reflective exploration, with methods chosen to match their goals and circumstances.
Stephanie prioritizes helping individuals find inner resources, repair patterns that no longer serve them, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her practice aims to foster sustainable growth rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online care and skill building
Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced, actionable thoughts; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and many daily challenges. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people struggling with overwhelming emotions or relationship conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her practice as well, providing a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients' values and goals lead the work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then tailor a blend of methods that fit their needs rather than applying a single technique from the outset.
Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care while juggling work, family, and other commitments. These options offer flexibility in how and when therapeutic work happens, allowing clients to practice new skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care even when schedules are busy.
