About Stephanie
Stephanie Mastroantonio is a Colorado licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage life changes, workplace stress, caregiving strain, and intense feelings like guilt and shame. Stephanie often works with women and caregivers who are sorting through attachment dynamics, family-of-origin issues, and parenting challenges.
She uses short, clear conversations to help people notice what matters to them and take practical steps. Sessions aim to improve communication, build self-kindness, and reduce the weight of past mistakes without rushing anyone. Stephanie draws on therapies that teach skills for thinking differently and connecting more securely with others.
Her work pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes identity and choices. That perspective is woven into conversations about forgiveness, self-love, and multicultural concerns. People bring concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, and career shifts, and she addresses these alongside emotional and relational patterns.
Stephanie blends acceptance- and action-oriented tools with attachment-focused listening and emotion-focused work. Meetings can include skills practice, reflection on relationship patterns, and coaching on day-to-day decisions. The emphasis is practical - clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and better communication at home and work.
She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when strong emotions are present. It can help with persistent guilt by shifting attention toward meaningful behavior rather than getting stuck in self-judgment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and works to change how people relate and respond in close relationships. This can be useful for those dealing with family-of-origin issues or attachment wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying skills, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than insisting on a single way forward.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They can also let someone use a phone call instead of video when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. In all cases the therapist and client will plan the structure that best fits daily routines and therapeutic goals.
