About Stephanie

Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York who brings a decade of experience to her practice. She emphasizes a client-centered approach that helps people identify practical tools and strategies to manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, mood disorders, trauma, and substance use concerns.

Background and approach

Her work aims to support measurable progress while honoring each person's pace and priorities. She combines evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with mindfulness and emotionally focused techniques to address issues like depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and addiction.

Stephanie creates a nonjudgmental environment that emphasizes skill-building, emotion regulation, and clearer decision-making around career, parenting, and life transitions. Sessions focus on actionable steps and ongoing collaboration toward improved daily functioning and overall well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to guide online work. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related issues. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Client-centered work prioritizes the individual's goals and perspective, creating space for personal insight and growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss clients' needs, goals, and preferences to tailor methods over time, adjusting strategies as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative planning helps ensure that interventions match what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver structured CBT or DBT skills practice, client-centered dialogue, and mindfulness exercises adapted to the online setting.
