About Stephanie

Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with ten years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma, substance use, and relationship concerns. Stephanie focuses on practical tools that help people cope, manage symptoms, and make steady changes.

Her approach centers on listening first. She starts by understanding how daily patterns and reactions affect functioning. From there she helps people identify concrete skills for managing stress, improving sleep, reducing anxiety, and handling intense emotions.

Stephanie uses several evidence-based methods. She draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates dialectical behavior techniques and mindfulness practices to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Sessions often include goal setting, short skill practices, and homework people can try between meetings. She can also support work around codependency, commitment concerns, dissociation, grief, and coping with life changes. Stephanie does not provide documentation for legal or court proceedings.

Her style is straightforward and practical. People who want clear tools and a plan for change will find that reflected in how she structures sessions. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in New York.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, then helps shape the session around those concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to change thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting CBT work often includes brief skill demonstrations, worksheets, and homework people can try between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Online DBT work tends to emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical strategies to handle crises or overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what feels useful in session. That choice can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Check the available formats and schedule that match your routine before you book.
