About Stephanie

Stephanie Zitani is an LPC based in New Jersey who supports people managing stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, anger, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help clients navigate coping with life changes, intimacy-related struggles, and issues such as attachment, codependency, and communication problems. Stephanie emphasizes clients' existing strengths and sees them as experts in their own stories while offering guidance through difficult transitions.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, and she uses motivational interviewing to help people find and sustain change. Stephanie aims to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore impulses, control issues, process addictions, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

She frames the first step toward a more fulfilling life as an act of courage and offers steady support as clients set goals and build skills to move forward.

Approaches that guide flexible online care

Stephanie blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people online. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration so clients can explore their goals and build on strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and impulsivity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and she treats that as a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting techniques over time so the plan matches each person's needs and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and allow for ongoing coaching, skill practice, and check-ins between live conversations.
