About Stephanie
Stephanie Hartman is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and codependency concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer boundaries rather than labels or quick fixes.
She uses conversational, direct work to help people manage overwhelming feelings. That can mean learning specific coping skills for panic or anxiety, looking at how past family patterns shape current choices, or practicing ways to set limits when people-pleasing or caretaking takes over. Stephanie helps clients notice patterns and try small, concrete changes between sessions.
Her methods include client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior skills. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support gradual change. These approaches are offered in straightforward, task-focused ways that aim to reduce distress and build reliable routines.
Stephanie has worked with people recovering from substance misuse and with those sorting complicated family relationships and blended family issues. She supports those coping with fertility stress, separation and divorce, and challenges tied to attachment or dependent relationship patterns. Her practice includes attention to body image, dissociation, and adult ADHD-related struggles.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients who want coaching-style guidance about career or life transitions can work on specific plans and skill practice. English-language sessions are offered in New York; international clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel heard and can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to talk through relationship patterns or parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, self-esteem issues, and managing cravings in addiction recovery. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are often helpful for people who struggle with strong reactions, unstable relationships, or frequent crises.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means checking in about what feels useful and changing strategies if needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between commitments. Therapists and licensed professionals can also use the online setting to assign practice exercises, review homework, and track progress in ways that fit everyday life.
