About Stephanie
Stephanie Jose draws on two decades of clinical experience to help people navigate big life changes and crises. She is a licensed mental health counselor in Vermont (LCMHC) and New York (LMHC) and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Stephanie names mood disorders, self-injury, abuse, and relationship difficulties among her primary concerns. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her style is direct and adaptable. Stephanie uses a mix of practical therapy methods to match each person's needs. She does not offer one-size-fits-all answers; instead she listens, reflects, and adjusts her approach to what helps a client make changes.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. She will both challenge and encourage a person to try new ways of handling problems. Work may include learning new skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing different ways of connecting with others.
Stephanie also addresses concerns like body image, codependency, attachment issues, dissociation, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with parenting stress, eating-related problems, and substance use struggles.
People can expect a collaborative pace and practical tools they can use between sessions. Stephanie aims to help clients gain insight and build habits that support steady progress toward personal goals.
How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help people improve trust and communication with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and sessions are shaped together to fit what a person finds most useful.
