About Stephanie
Stephanie Mastroantonio is a Colorado licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nine years of practice. She focuses on helping adults cope with life changes, manage parenting strain, and address issues like ADHD and bipolar concerns. Stephanie also works with people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care.
She helps people improve communication and understand attachment patterns that shape relationships. Sessions often address family of origin issues, caregiver burnout, and workplace pressures. She guides clients through feelings of guilt, shame, and questions common in midlife.
Stephanie uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and on emotionally focused strategies to clarify relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it.
Her work includes attention to multicultural factors and the particular stresses that caregivers and women may face. She helps people build self-compassion and practical skills for daily life. The emphasis is on clear, usable tools rather than long explanations.
If you want to start, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. Stephanie provides services in English in Colorado.
How sessions work
How Stephanie applies therapy approaches online
Stephanie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it encourages actions that reflect personal values; it can help with parenting stress, life changes, and managing attention or mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed early in relationships and how those patterns affect current behavior and communication, which can be useful for people dealing with family of origin issues and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to test methods and choose what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That means sessions can shift focus over time, using different techniques as new issues come up or as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting therapy into a busy day and reducing travel time so check-ins can be shorter or more frequent when needed. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. If you want to start, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session, and fees are handled through a cancellable subscription model.
