  1. About Stephanie

    Stephanie Kane is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Stephanie aims to make the first step toward change feel less daunting by offering steady support and practical guidance.

    Stephanie uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people notice what matters to them and what gets in the way. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons to change, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make choices aligned with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also part of her approach when they fit a person’s needs.

    In session she creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She listens for what a person wants to keep and what they want to change. Together, she and the client set small, achievable steps to build momentum and reduce overwhelm.

    Her work also addresses related areas like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, relationship communication, and life transitions such as divorce or separation. She helps people facing guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and sexuality.

    Clients can expect practical tools, paced goal-setting, and a collaborative tone. Stephanie supports people who are ready to take manageable steps toward a steadier, more values-driven life.

  2. How her approaches shape online counseling

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help people clarify their own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking steps forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on defining personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will check in about what feels most useful and adjust strategies as progress is made.

    Confirm the specific session options before booking, since no formats are listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during life transitions, such as moving or changing jobs. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework so work between sessions feels manageable and relevant.
