About Stephanie
Stephanie Kane is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She draws on a decade of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused.
Stephanie builds an open space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. She encourages small, practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier mood. Her work often addresses self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and problems with communication and control. Post-traumatic stress, guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness and sexuality are included in her practice. Stephanie uses a range of evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs, including mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral tools, and acceptance-based strategies.
She also incorporates client-centered and dialectical approaches to support emotional regulation and decision making. Appointments are offered through multiple formats to fit different schedules and preferences. Stephanie guides people through the first steps and supports them as they try new strategies between sessions.
Her aim is to help people build skills they can use day to day.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Stephanie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT often includes simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Client-centered Therapy is another part of her work, focusing on listening closely and offering empathetic support so people can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify what feels most useful, adjusting methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they try ideas in session and review how those strategies fit into everyday life.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and messaging options can work for quick check-ins or people who prefer text. These formats help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while continuing to explore meaningful change.
