About Stephanie

Stephanie Mastroantonio is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Colorado with nine years of practice. She focuses on helping people through life changes, coaching, sleep struggles, parenting challenges, career issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Her method is practical and grounded; she talks through problems and helps clients find concrete ways forward.

Stephanie uses straightforward tools to improve communication and ease caregiver stress. She pays attention to how early family experiences shape current relationships and to concerns that come up around adoption and foster care.

Background and approach

She also works with people facing guilt, shame, and workplace strain. Her style blends evidence-based techniques with attention to emotional connection. That means she draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and emotionally-focused therapy to repair relational patterns.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Stephanie is mindful of cultural differences and how they affect healing. She emphasizes building self-compassion and practical skills that fit real life.

The work often includes setting small goals, practicing new ways to talk with others, and tracking progress between sessions. Clients connect with her by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a brief questionnaire and scheduling step match clients to her availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting swept up in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for coping with life shifts, chronic stress, and building consistent parenting habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that lead to distress and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like sleep problems and work stress. It provides clear tools for changing daily routines and reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on improving emotional connections and communication patterns in relationships, which can help with caregiver strain and attachment-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Over time methods may be adjusted so the focus matches current needs and progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions into busy family schedules and continue work between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach new skills, coach through moments of crisis, and maintain steady support without travel.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
