About Stephanie

Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She brings practical clinical training and a creative arts therapy background to support people navigating mood disorders, trauma, self-injury, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Her dual licenses - LCMHC in Vermont and LMHC in New York - reflect long-term commitment to clinical practice across different treatment environments. Her approach centers on tailoring care to each person's individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

She integrates evidence-based therapies and experiential methods to encourage insight, coping skills, and healthier relationship patterns. Stephanie balances gentle support with active challenge, helping clients identify goals, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

Known for working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues, she also addresses complex topics like attachment wounds, codependency, and body image. Based in New York, she accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to meet different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and practicing mindful actions that move a person toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills to challenge thoughts and build new habits, often used for mood and anxiety concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early attachment experiences to improve connection and reduce interpersonal distress, which can be valuable for intimacy and family-related issues.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work itself. Stephanie collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods from these therapies to suit the individual. That collaborative planning helps ensure the chosen strategies align with what the client wants to achieve and how they prefer to engage in therapy.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy or geographically distant lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options create flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity across locations, and let clients use modalities that feel most comfortable for practicing skills between sessions.
