About Stephanie

Stephanie Jose is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work in New York. She has practiced in both inpatient and outpatient settings and focuses on helping people navigate mood concerns, grief, anxiety, and trauma. Stephanie uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people find clearer coping steps.

Stephanie draws from several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while keeping the session centered on the person in front of her.

Background and approach

She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how relationships and early patterns show up today. Sessions are practical and aimed at small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes. People often come to Stephanie for help with depression, self-injury history, substance issues, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.

She also supports work on parenting stress, body image, ADHD, and dealing with major life transitions. Her background in creative arts therapy informs a flexible style that adapts to each person's needs. In session she asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests exercises to try between meetings.

She will challenge unhelpful patterns and encourage steps that align with a person's values. Progress is discussed openly so goals stay realistic and useful. Sessions are conducted in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Stephanie works with international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on what people feel in relationships and helps name and shift painful interaction patterns. It can help with attachment worries, intimacy-related issues, and strong emotional reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at earlier relationship patterns and how they show up now, which can help with abandonment, codependency, or communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that seem to fit, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process lets the therapist and client decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment-focused ideas, or a mix of methods best supports the person's needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and allow visual cues during conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let someone check in between sessions or communicate when a written exchange fits better. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
