About Stephanie
Stephanie Fuertes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem problems, career changes, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is grounded in straightforward conversation and practical work. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and focuses on concrete steps they can try between sessions. Sessions include talking through thinking patterns, noticing how those patterns influence behavior, and trying small, repeatable strategies to test what helps.
Stephanie draws on client-centered work to honor each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral methods to map thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness techniques to develop present-moment attention. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals and keep progress moving.
She works with people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image distress, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication or control problems, and family-of-origin or divorce-related issues. Stephanie also supports people facing domestic violence, emptiness, and commitment worries.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Her practice operates from New York and follows a session model that uses a subscription which can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit with online work
Stephanie blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness in practical ways. Client-centered work means conversations start with what matters most to the client and the therapist follows the client’s priorities to set goals. CBT involves identifying thought patterns that lead to reactive behavior and experimenting with different responses to reduce angry reactions. Mindfulness practice focuses on present-moment noticing, helping people pause before acting and learn simple breath or attention exercises to calm intensity.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Stephanie will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and everyday schedule. That collaborative planning includes setting small, achievable steps to try between sessions and checking what works or needs adjusting.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people use audio-only or video options depending on comfort and bandwidth. These practical benefits help therapy fit into regular routines while the therapist and client track progress and adapt methods as needed.
