About Stephanie
Stephanie Kane is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make the first step toward change less intimidating by offering steady support and a nonjudgmental presence.
She creates a calm space where people can talk openly about what they are feeling. Conversations focus on practical steps that fit everyday life, not on labels or jargon. She encourages small, manageable changes that build confidence over time.
Stephanie uses a mix of well-known approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take committed action, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and client-centered techniques are woven in to keep sessions grounded and person-focused.
Her work also addresses related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose. Money and financial issues are included among the areas she helps people talk through.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Stephanie listens first, then helps design steps you can try between visits. She aims to help people find clearer priorities, steadier mood, and more confidence as they move forward.
How Stephanie’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice what matters most and commit to small actions that match those values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make choices feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will discuss different methods and select strategies together based on your goals and preferences. She treats the process as a collaboration, adjusting techniques if something isn’t helping and building on what is working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find virtual sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Online work lets you practice skills in the settings where you live and then bring observations back to session for discussion and troubleshooting.
