About Stephanie
Stephanie Agosh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. She also works with career concerns, grief, ADHD, bipolar issues, and compassion fatigue.
Stephanie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages clients to talk about what is happening day to day and to notice what makes anger and frustration flare. She uses exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Her style draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based thinking to look at values and relationship patterns. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need concrete tools for intense moments. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, doable steps between meetings.
Stephanie pays attention to control issues, first responder stress, seasonal mood shifts, and patterns that come up around narcissism and forgiveness. She offers work on self-love and women’s concerns alongside practical problem solving for work and family strain. Her approach emphasizes learning real skills that can be used during frustrating interactions.
People who are nervous about starting therapy find the first meetings are mostly about figuring out priorities and what to try first. Stephanie asks about daily routines and immediate triggers, then suggests simple strategies to reduce reactivity and rebuild steadier responses over time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises to notice thoughts and commit to value-driven steps that can be practiced between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thought patterns that fuel anger and then test more helpful responses. In teletherapy CBT, clients and the therapist work through examples and homework that translate to everyday interactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for intense moments, such as breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance techniques. These skills are useful for managing sudden anger and for planning calmer responses in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few skills-focused sessions first and adjusting based on what helps most.
