Stephanie is an amazing person to speak to about anything. She is truly caring and understands every single thing that I can say and remembers it all. She is very good at putting the pieces together and understanding what the situation is. I’m confident in her and I am so happy I met her. She is like no other person, I have ever spoken to about my problems. I really look forward to continuing my services with BetterHelp.

More about Stephanie
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a mental health therapist licensed in New York with an extended amount of experience working with couples, children, family and adolescents. I have worked with clients with various concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, anger management and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you. Let's do this together.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
