About Stephanie
Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and other life strains. She favors a straightforward and calm approach.
Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She helps people find tools they can use between meetings. Stephanie uses methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused work, and mindfulness.
Background and approach
She blends these to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Her background includes a decade in mental health settings with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs how she responds to mood disorders, trauma, addiction, and struggles with self-esteem or relationships.
Stephanie often emphasizes building daily routines, coping strategies for overwhelming feelings, and clearer communication skills. Parents can expect concrete ideas for managing stress around caregiving and balancing responsibilities. She offers short written exchanges and live sessions in formats that suit different schedules.
New clients complete a brief questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person and building a trusting connection. In this approach the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and make their own decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting stress because it gives clear strategies to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving emotional regulation. It is often used for intense mood swings, overwhelming stress, and trouble with impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That conversation helps set priorities and decide which skills to focus on.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and skill work, phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat allow brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent progress when schedules are busy.
