About Stephanie
Stephanie Sammarco is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC). She has 15 years of counseling experience and works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, grief, and related issues.
She helps people who are managing life changes, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and complicated family dynamics. Her practice includes work around attachment, blended family challenges, communication problems, codependency, and separation or divorce. Stephanie also supports people coping with guilt, shame, infidelity, and isolation.
Her clinical approach is flexible. She draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and understanding how patterns developed over time.
In session she aims to build trust and a strong working relationship so people can speak openly about painful topics. Conversations look at current problems and the experiences that shaped them. She balances short-term problem solving with attention to deeper patterns when that is helpful.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people name what matters to them. It supports people who want a space to sort through family stresses, parenting burdens, or relationship concerns without the therapist directing every step.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It offers concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood, anger, or communication difficulties at home. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and increase calm during tense moments with others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Stephanie will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical value of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm what session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around parenting, work, medical appointments, or caregiving responsibilities, and it can reduce the time spent traveling to appointments.
