About Stephanie
Stephanie Hartman is a New York LMHC with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting strain, relationship problems, and major life changes. She also supports people coping with career pressures, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD concerns.
Hartman uses practical talk and concrete skills in sessions. She focuses on helping people improve communication, set boundaries, and build better coping strategies. Sessions often include steps for managing panic, reducing unhelpful thinking, and addressing patterns that show up in family relationships.
Her work includes attention to trauma and abuse recovery. She helps people who have experienced dissociation, attachment problems, domestic violence, or family-of-origin issues. She can also assist with blended family challenges and separation or divorce adjustments.
Stephanie draws on several well-known approaches. She blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques, DBT skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to support concrete goals like reducing anxiety symptoms, staying sober, or managing parenting stress.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. People leave with specific tools they can use between meetings, such as mindfulness exercises, communication scripts, and stepwise plans for behavior change. To begin, follow the online matching steps and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel understood and supports work on communication, self-esteem, and relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build concrete strategies for anxiety, stress, and behavior change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for stress management, emotion regulation, and reducing reactive patterns in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the focus over time.
Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow sessions that do not require travel. Discuss practical scheduling and format needs during the matching and first session to find what will work in daily life.
