About Stephanie

Stephanie Mastroantonio is a Colorado-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nine years of professional experience supporting people through major life transitions and personal growth.

Background and approach

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to help clients manage workplace stress, caregiving burdens, and attachment-related challenges, while also addressing concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep difficulties, and parenting pressures. Her style emphasizes self-compassion, clearer communication, and healing from painful emotional histories.

She works with individuals coping with guilt and shame, navigating adoption and foster care issues, and exploring family-of-origin patterns. Multicultural awareness informs her practice, and she aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients can build resilience, practice forgiveness, and pursue improved well-being.

Stephanie combines practical coaching elements with psychotherapeutic approaches to foster growth around career transitions, midlife reassessment, and women’s issues. Her focus includes improving relational patterns and supporting clients experiencing compassion fatigue, with attention to meaningful, client-centered goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical techniques for managing anxiety, mood fluctuations, sleep problems, and workplace stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can support coping during major life transitions and caregiving strain. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps clients explore relational dynamics that influence communication, trust, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie collaborates with each person to find what fits best. She combines elements from different methods based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions over time so the work feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for busy lives. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent appointments, continue work during transitions, and apply skills between sessions while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
