About Stephanie
Stephanie Baker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at improving day-to-day coping and emotional functioning.
With 13 years of experience, she has supported many people through trauma and abuse and related challenges such as post-traumatic stress and social anxiety. Sessions often center on identifying what keeps someone stuck and building small, manageable skills to change that pattern.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns of control issues, impulsivity, and communication problems that make life harder. Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process difficult experiences and reduce symptoms. Conversations in session move between understanding past events and practicing new ways to respond in the present.
She aims to restore a sense of agency and improve emotional regulation. Practical tools feature in her work: stress management strategies, grounding skills for trauma symptoms, and steps to build healthier self-talk. She also supports people learning to set boundaries and improve how they express needs to others.
Progress is tracked in concrete ways so gains are easier to see. Therapy is offered in several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People choose the format that fits their schedule and communication preferences.
Stephanie encourages a collaborative plan focused on the client’s goals and daily life.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people process difficult experiences and build new skills. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing symptoms through structured talking and grounding exercises; this helps people reduce flashbacks, worry, and avoidance. Another approach teaches practical coping and behavior changes through small, repeatable exercises that address anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and control issues; these techniques help people practice different responses to stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then choose which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process with adjustments along the way so methods fit the person’s needs and life circumstances.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping a steady path toward their goals.
