About Stephanie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 8 years of experience, Stephanie Zitani helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, trauma and self-esteem concerns. She offers practical talk-based support focused on motivation, confidence, and coping with life changes. Sessions emphasize the client's perspective and personal strengths.
Stephanie works from a client-centered stance. She treats the person as the expert on their own story and uses that as the starting point for change. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and on Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change.
In a typical meeting she listens for strengths, asks clear questions, and suggests exercises you can try between sessions. She may introduce simple CBT strategies for anxiety or mood, or mindful practices to reduce stress. Conversations are direct and focused on small, practical steps.
Her experience includes helping with substance and process addictions, anger, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and social anxiety. She also addresses attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions.
People who choose her can expect straightforward, collaborative sessions that emphasize motivation and skill-building. To begin, the usual process is a short intake to identify goals and match on next steps. This helps clarify which techniques will be most useful going forward.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Stephanie uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s perspective and strengths. That approach means sessions begin with the client’s priorities and questions, and the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering reflections and practical suggestions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT tools may include simple exercises to test beliefs, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step coping skills for anxiety, mood, or addiction-related urges. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify reasons to change and build motivation. It involves open questions, reflective listening, and short planning conversations to move toward goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques over time. The process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when bandwidth or attention is limited. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be scheduled and conducted.Sheet 3
