    About Stephanie

    Stephanie Mastroantonio is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience helping people navigate big life changes and personal growth. She practices in Colorado and focuses on building self-compassion, clearer communication, and healthier emotional patterns. Stephanie aims to make discussions about difficult feelings feel manageable and practical.

    She uses straightforward conversations and tools to help with parenting strain, workplace stress, and the emotional work around adoption and foster care. She also supports people dealing with bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Sessions emphasize real-life steps that fit into daily routines.

    Stephanie pays attention to how attachment and family-of-origin issues shape current relationships. She draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Her work also includes cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

    Cultural background and identity matter in her approach, and she brings that awareness into sessions. She often helps clients untangle shame, guilt, and forgiveness so they can move forward with more self-acceptance. Her style is warm, practical, and focused on collaboration.

    For someone facing midlife decisions, career shifts, or the ongoing demands of caregiving, Stephanie aims to provide steady support. She helps clients set small goals, address communication problems, and build resilience over time.

  2. How Stephanie blends approaches for online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on talking through a person’s own reasons for change. It uses questions and reflections to help someone find their own motivation for new habits or decisions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choosing actions that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections and helps people try different ways of relating.

    Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients test what techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process often begins with short practical steps and then shifts as progress or new priorities emerge.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone choose a quieter place with fewer distractions. Licensed professionals can use these methods to guide motivation, address unhelpful thoughts, and practice new relationship skills in ways that translate to everyday life.
