About Stephanie
Stephanie Mastroantonio is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado. She focuses on helping people during big life changes and on everyday struggles like sleep problems, career stress, and parenting worries. She also supports people with ADHD and those managing bipolar symptoms.
Her style is steady and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel understood and able to take practical next steps. Stephanie draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide conversations that matter.
Background and approach
She listens for what feels stuck and then helps clients try different ways of handling it. Sessions tend to focus on improving communication, reducing guilt and shame, and building more self-compassion. Her work pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin patterns.
That can look like mapping how early relationships still affect present choices, then practicing new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. She also addresses adoption and foster care questions and caregiver stress when relevant. Stephanie uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to change unhelpful thinking and increase values-driven action.
Emotionally-focused and client-centered methods shape how she attends to feelings and relationship issues. These approaches are combined into a practical plan the client can try between sessions. She brings a multicultural lens to therapy and aims to make space for different backgrounds and identities.
The goal is steady progress - fewer repeated struggles and clearer steps forward. If someone wants practical support for life changes, ADHD-related concerns, or workplace and relationship strain, she helps them map a path ahead.
How different approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve sleep, mood, or work performance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions shape relationships and helps people express needs and repair patterns that cause repeated conflict.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they’ll try approaches that match the issue at hand and adjust methods if something isn’t working well.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, do brief coaching, or fit therapy around a busy schedule. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
