About Stephanie
Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She holds LCMHC and LMHC credentials and practices from New York. She draws on work in both inpatient and outpatient settings to help people through big life changes and crises.
Her practice focuses on mood concerns like depression and bipolar, as well as anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and anger. She also supports people facing addictions, compulsive behaviors around food, and the fallout from relationship or family problems.
Background and approach
Clients who struggle with attachment, codependency, self-esteem, or emptiness often seek her help. Stephanie uses several common therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. She works from acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, attachment-focused perspectives, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
She adapts techniques rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer choices. She will challenge and encourage clients while helping them set goals and build coping strategies.
Her style blends direct feedback with empathic listening so people can try new ways of handling problems. People may come for short-term coaching or longer work on patterns that repeat across relationships. Stephanie also offers support for parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and stress management.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling safe with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts methods if something isn't working.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief coaching into a busy day. These options help people maintain continuity of care while managing schedules and life demands.
