Stephanie Hartman, LMHC

Stephanie Hartman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 10 years of experience helping people navigate complex life challenges. She focuses on supporting those working through trauma, addiction recovery, social anxiety, relationship difficulties, and stress-related concerns, and she brings particular experience with family dynamics, parenting issues, attachment challenges, body image, and transitions that often accompany major life changes.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration and practical growth, guiding clients toward greater self-understanding, improved communication, and healthier coping strategies. Stephanie creates a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore painful memories, process attachment patterns, and strengthen self-esteem while learning skills to manage anxiety, panic, and everyday stress.

Drawing on evidence-based techniques alongside empathic listening, Stephanie supports people in rebuilding resilience, resolving conflict within families and relationships, and pursuing meaningful personal and career goals. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns - from addiction and trauma to career stress and ADHD - with the aim of walking alongside each person as they develop clearer direction, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self-worth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Stephanie Hartman integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and supports clients in identifying their own goals and values, which helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve coping. DBT offers structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and navigating relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Stephanie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for speaking about sensitive topics.
