About Stephanie
Stephanie Kane is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, financial stress, and questions about life purpose.
Stephanie uses straightforward conversation and active listening to understand what feels stuck. She prioritizes clear, practical steps so people can test small changes between sessions. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing skills that reduce distress in daily life.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep sessions focused on the client’s perspective.
Clients can expect calm, direct guidance and opportunities to practice new ways of coping. Stephanie helps people break problems into manageable parts, whether the issue is chronic stress, past trauma, or figuring out what matters after a major life change. She supports people as they test options and adjust plans over time.
Stephanie practices in New York and offers sessions in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so they can discuss goals and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking small, value-driven actions. It can help when someone feels stuck after a job change or relationship shift by identifying priorities and workable steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood, and encourages practical behavior experiments between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. These skills support day-to-day coping when stress or anger feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She treats the choice of approach as flexible and will adapt what is used over time based on what helps.
