About Stephanie

Stephanie Jose is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings helping people through life transitions, crisis, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. Stephanie focuses on practical, straightforward work rather than quick fixes.

She frequently helps with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and problems tied to substance use and eating. Relationship and intimacy issues, codependency, attachment concerns, and communication problems are also part of her day-to-day practice. Stephanie integrates several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs.

Her style blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills with attachment-informed work and client-centered listening. She uses techniques aimed at building insight and practical coping tools. Sessions often include behavioral steps, values clarification, and skills practice to manage strong emotions and reduce harmful patterns.

Stephanie trained as a Mental Health Counselor and as a Creative Arts Therapist, and she draws on both backgrounds when it helps. She aims to challenge clients where needed and to support steady progress toward personal goals. Work can include addressing self-injury, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, bipolar mood patterns, and attention difficulties.

People who tend to put others first, struggle to set boundaries, or who feel drained by relationship demands may find her approach useful for learning new ways to act and relate. For international clients and English speakers she offers services consistent with her licensure and experience.

How sessions work

How Stephanie Uses Different Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and building coping tactics. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions, and it helps people change repeated interpersonal responses. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress or new needs appear. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also allows practicing skills in everyday settings and following up between sessions when useful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to an online setting so people can apply new ways of acting and relating in day-to-day life.
