About Stephanie
Stephanie Zitani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and substance concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people feel understood and capable of change.
Stephanie believes clients know their lives best and brings that perspective into each session. She focuses on building on strengths and setting practical goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and concrete, not full of jargon or abstract theory. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with emotional regulation and grounding.
Motivational interviewing supports people working through addiction or mixed feelings about change. Her approach is down-to-earth and paced to each person. Stephanie will help break worries into manageable steps and teach skills that can be used between appointments.
She emphasizes small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. Clients can expect clear explanations and opportunities to practice new ways of responding to stress and anger. Stephanie frames progress as gradual and focused on what matters most to the individual.
Her work is aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and move toward a more satisfying daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify values and goals, and supports people as they make changes. This approach suits people who want a collaborative space to talk through problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice new responses. It is practical and goal oriented, useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional balance.
Stephanie will work with each person to decide which approaches fit best. Figuring out the right mix is a shared process based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods as progress is made and as priorities shift.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is good for visual connection and structured work, phone may be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
