About Stephanie
Stephanie Diaz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, parenting questions, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and related challenges.
She frames therapy around clear, achievable goals. Stephanie helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and test different ways of responding.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions often include practical strategies, moment-to-moment awareness practice, and direct conversation about next steps. Humor and gentle challenge may appear alongside supportive reflection.
Stephanie also brings attention to cultural background and how identity and relationships interact. She helps people address issues related to adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, immigration, first responder stress, and fertility concerns when relevant.
Clients commonly come with anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive patterns, anger, or difficulty after betrayals such as infidelity. She works with people on co-occurring conditions, codependency, and relationship commitment questions.
Her approach is practical and structured. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to outline goals and a plan for next steps.
How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Stephanie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns, running small experiments, and building skills for managing anxiety, depression, and relationship reactions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and helping clients set their own goals. That approach supports people who want straightforward feedback and space to reflect. Mindfulness Therapy appears alongside these methods to teach attention to present-moment experience and reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stephanie will talk with each person about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and focused on concrete steps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about the specific session options available so scheduling matches your daily routine.
