Stephanie Miller-Olsen, LMHC

Stephanie Miller-Olsen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked with both children and adults across a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use, and trauma. Stephanie emphasizes a nonjudgmental, client-centered environment that supports personal growth and practical change, helping people identify tools to reach their goals and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her clinical practice incorporates evidence-informed approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness techniques, applying the methods that best fit each person’s needs. Stephanie is currently available for chat sessions only and is willing to message between sessions when regular session time is also scheduled, as she finds that combination enhances the work together. She is not able to provide documentation for legal or court proceedings. Stephanie looks forward to hearing from prospective clients and supporting them as they take next steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for the client’s perspective and creates a supportive space where individuals guide the pace of change; it is well suited for life transitions, relationship challenges, and work on self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people manage intense emotions and improve relationship stability.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively - Stephanie works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and adapt the format of therapy to what fits a person’s schedule and style. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to tailor care to each individual's circumstances.
