   About Stephanie

   Stephanie Hartman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing addictions, trauma, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life changes. She draws on a decade of experience to guide individuals toward clearer goals and steadier coping. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they need to say and be heard.

   Stephanie uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people change patterns that get in the way. She supports work on self-esteem, communication, and decision-making. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach to help people find their own reasons to change. She also uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

   Sessions are collaborative. Stephanie listens first, then helps set small, realistic steps that fit a person's life. She works with people dealing with family conflict, attachment issues, body image concerns, and substance use problems. Her background includes work with those recovering from trauma and people adjusting after separation or divorce.

   Her style balances empathy with practical strategies. She teaches mindfulness skills for stress and DBT-informed tools for emotion regulation. Over ten years of practice in New York inform her flexible way of working. Stephanie aims to help people build stronger coping skills and clearer next steps.

2. How Stephanie uses evidence-based approaches online

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own motivation to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone weigh pros and cons and decide on next steps. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of the work and emphasizes being heard and respected while exploring concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Stephanie will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She treats therapy as a partnership where your preferences guide which tools are used.
   
   Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people try methods like mindfulness exercises or CBT work sheets during the week and bring questions back to the next meeting.
