About Stephanie
Stephanie Hartman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship stress, parenting strains, and related concerns such as self-esteem and career stress.
She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and develop concrete skills for daily life. Sessions focus on clearer communication, stronger coping strategies, and practical steps to manage anxiety and stress. Stephanie uses straightforward tools so clients can test what works between appointments.
Her work includes attention to attachment issues, dissociation, body image concerns, and family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with divorce, blended family challenges, fertility-related stress, and substance use concerns. Conversations often include problem solving around parenting and career demands.
Stephanie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions collaborative and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Mindfulness practices to build emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels difficult or stalled.
People who prefer practical, skill-focused sessions will find clear agendas and measurable goals. Time is spent practicing new responses and checking how those changes fit everyday life. The emphasis is on small, doable steps that can reduce social anxiety and other worries over time.
How Stephanie applies evidence-based approaches online
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can try different responses in daily life. DBT skills teach concrete methods for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.She also brings Client-Centered Therapy elements, which means sessions are collaborative and guided by a person's own goals. Deciding which approaches to use is a joint process - she will work with the client to pick methods that match goals, day-to-day demands, and how the person prefers to work.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her during the matching steps about which format would best match your routine and comfort level.
