About Stephanie
Stephanie Mastroantonio is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Colorado. She has nine years of experience helping people face big life changes and day-to-day strains. Her work often focuses on developing self-compassion, clearer communication, and more stable routines.
Stephanie helps people who are coping with career shifts, parenting stress, caregiving burdens, and the emotional fallout from family history. She also supports those managing mood and attention conditions and the sleep problems that often come with them.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real-life steps. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns and attachment-related issues. Stephanie pays attention to how cultural background shapes each person’s story.
She brings that perspective into conversations about forgiveness, guilt, and reclaiming self-worth. The therapy room is collaborative. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, centering the client’s goals and preferences.
People can expect direct discussion, problem-solving, and space to process feelings. Stephanie supports women and caregivers navigating midlife questions and workplace pressures. She also works with people facing compassion fatigue and those seeking coaching-style help alongside traditional therapy.
Her aim is to help clients build tools they can use between sessions.
Approach and access in online therapy
Stephanie blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that fit each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building actions that match those values, which can help with motivation and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for improving communication and trust in close relationships.Deciding on an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face work and deeper conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
