About Stephanie
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 13 years of experience. Stephanie Baker focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She works with people who want clearer ways to manage emotions and everyday challenges.
Stephanie uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process difficult events and shift unhelpful patterns. She helps people name what they are facing, learn coping skills, and practice new responses to old problems. Sessions emphasize practical tools for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.
Her experience includes work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of long-term anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and social anxiety and phobia. Stephanie draws on over a decade in the field to match approaches to each person’s goals.
In-session, she guides conversations that surface core concerns and then builds step-by-step plans for change. That may include repeated practice, skill-building, and reflection between sessions. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
People considering therapy with her typically start by describing current struggles and what they hope to change. The process begins with a short assessment and a collaborative plan. Sessions use clear, direct language and focus on usable strategies to improve day-to-day life.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and structured work. One common approach teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and depression, such as breathing, behavioral activation, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance. These methods help people manage symptoms and build confidence in everyday situations.Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences in manageable pieces, helping people make sense of what happened and reduce its ongoing hold. This can include gradual reprocessing and learning ways to lower arousal and improve sleep, concentration, and mood.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and current difficulties, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most, so clients are part of deciding the path forward.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
