Handlebar help!

Hi all, fairly new to the cycling world. I have a 2020 Giant Escape 3 that I love, except for the height of the handlebars. I feel like I’m reaching too far when riding, and often causes back pain and discomfort. I’ve considered a number of things - possibly a stem extender, but I’ve read that they can be dangerous. Another thought I’ve had is getting a different stem, maybe one longer ? I wouldn’t want to extend the cables and stuff. Hoping for an easy solution. Maybe if I got new grips with bar ends that would make my ride more comfortable, being that my hands could rest somewhere higher than the handlebars and give my back a bit of a break. Any thoughts on what I could look into or advice? Thank you in advance.
