About Stephanie

Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She draws on a decade of experience supporting people facing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. Her approach aims to help clients find practical tools and steady progress toward clearer goals.

She keeps sessions focused and direct. Stephanie listens first, then helps people map small steps they can try between meetings. She uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness to help manage symptoms and build coping habits.

Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns such as panic attacks, trauma and abuse, ADHD, substance use, and mood disorders. She also addresses relationship troubles, sleep issues, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. That variety shapes a flexible, down-to-earth style in session.

Stephanie prefers collaborative goal-setting. She helps people notice what’s working and adjust plans if something feels off. Sessions include practical skill-building, thought work, and emotion regulation depending on each person’s needs.

Sessions are geared toward steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who want concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, or life transitions may find her style helpful. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy steps and complete the matching process.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions to problems like anxiety or relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It offers practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms such as panic attacks or obsessive behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It often includes emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools useful for mood swings and self-harm urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Decision making is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel and making scheduling easier. It also lets people use shorter check-ins on days they need them and keep practicing skills between meetings.
