About Stephanie
Stephanie Mastroantonio is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with nine years of experience. She works with people facing life changes, career stress, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, and conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Stephanie focuses on practical ways to cope and to improve communication and relationships.
She helps clients sort through attachment issues and family-of-origin concerns. That includes adoption and foster care related stresses, caregiver strain, and workplace pressures. She also addresses feelings of guilt and shame, forgiveness, and women's issues.
Stephanie uses several approaches in her work, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions often involve naming emotions, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between meetings. She encourages skills people can use in daily life to manage moods, sleep, and stressful interactions.
Her practice pays attention to multicultural factors and how background shapes relationships and coping. She works with people on developing clearer communication and stronger boundaries. Coaching-style conversations are mixed with therapeutic techniques when that fits the client's goals.
People who want straightforward conversation about feelings, attachment dynamics, and practical next steps may find her approach useful. Stephanie offers sessions in English and works from Colorado, using her clinical experience to guide each conversation toward workable change.
Approaches used online and how they help
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name difficult emotions and see how those feelings shape interaction patterns. It can be useful for understanding attachment-related reactions and for learning new ways to respond in relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It often helps with life transitions, workplace stress, and managing mood symptoms by teaching practical skills for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix best supports the client's aims.
