About Stephanie
Stephanie Kane is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, money worries, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexuality.
Stephanie focuses on straightforward, person-centered care. She encourages open conversation and helps people say what they are feeling without judgment. Sessions emphasize practical steps alongside thoughtful reflection. The goal is to notice what matters most and try changes that feel possible.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix is used to help with symptoms, patterns of thinking, and emotion regulation. She uses actionable tools such as values clarification, behavior experiments, and mindfulness practices.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, then suggests small experiments to test different choices. She works with both short-term goals and longer personal concerns. Conversations are paced to match what the person can handle.
Stephanie practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people who are carrying guilt or shame notice how those feelings show up and decide what they want to do about them.
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values, notice difficult thoughts, and take small steps that align with what matters. It is often used for anxiety, guilt, and decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior experiments to test new ways of responding. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins or timed breaks. They also let people work from quieter surroundings, use audio-only if that suits them better, or keep a consistent schedule around work and caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so that skills work and real-life experiments continue between sessions.
