About Stephanie
LMHC in New York with 10 years of practice, Stephanie Hartman helps people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career or life transitions. She offers direct, practical support aimed at clearer communication, better coping skills, and steady progress toward personal goals.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based techniques to address problems like panic, attachment issues, body image concerns, and family conflict. She helps clients sort through triggers and build skills for day-to-day life. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between appointments.
Her work includes support for people managing addiction and recovery. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps clients find their reasons to change and take practical steps forward. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop different behavior patterns.
Mindfulness practices and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used to help with intense emotions and stress regulation. These approaches are applied in clear, teachable ways rather than abstract theory. Clients are given concrete exercises to practice on their own.
Stephanie values collaboration and keeps the process goal-focused. She asks about what matters most, sets small steps, and checks progress each session. Work continues until the client and therapist agree on next steps or a change in focus.

How Stephanie applies therapy approaches in online work
Stephanie commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, listening-based relationship. This approach focuses on the client's priorities and encourages clearer communication about needs and goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build different behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and stress by providing tools to change thinking and actions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques are used to manage strong emotions and improve stress regulation. These methods include short exercises and breathing or attention practices that can be learned and repeated between sessions.
Stephanie will work with each person to decide which approaches fit best. That decision is collaborative and based on the client's goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people use video or audio when that suits them. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so they work across different session setups.
