Stephanie Zitani, LPC

Stephanie Zitani is an LPC licensed in New Jersey with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and mood difficulties. She also supports people facing life changes, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around attachment and codependency.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and building clearer communication skills. She uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns, client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.

Stephanie frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. She breaks concerns into manageable steps and works on skills people can use between sessions. Expect plain language, concrete exercises, and regular check-ins on progress.

Her background includes eight years of varied practice experience in New Jersey settings. She brings experience with addictions, process behaviors such as gambling or compulsive exercise, and relational challenges including communication problems and control issues. That experience informs the practical tools she offers.

Sessions cover both short-term goals like anxiety reduction and longer-term patterns such as attachment and impulsivity. People who want structured, skills-based work and clear behavioral experiments tend to find this approach useful. Stephanie conducts work in English and practices under her New Jersey LPC credential.
