About Stephanie
Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has 10 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes, including anger, anxiety, and depression. Her manner is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping clients find tools that fit their day-to-day lives.
She focuses on clear, usable strategies. Sessions often include talking through what feels overwhelming and practicing skills to respond differently. Stephanie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build better coping habits.
Background and approach
Her work is also grounded in a client-centered approach that prioritizes each person’s goals and pace. That means sessions are shaped by what matters most to the client, whether managing stress, working through trauma, or improving sleep and relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used when they suit the client’s goals, for learning to stay present and calm.
Stephanie has experience with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She supports people who are navigating career shifts, parenting strain, and the exhaustion that comes with compassion fatigue. She also addresses deeper patterns like codependency, guilt, and obsessive tendencies.
Her style is nonjudgmental and practical. Clients can expect focused conversations, homework when useful, and steady skill-building to handle difficult moments more effectively.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what the client wants to change, offering empathy and practical feedback to help people move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems because it breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions that can be changed.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It includes distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills that can be helpful for anger, mood swings, and self-harm urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best, adjusting plans as goals and needs become clearer. This helps ensure sessions stay practical and focused on real problems.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady contact with a licensed professional.
