About Stephanie
Stephanie Mastroantonio is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Colorado. She brings nine years of experience helping people through big life changes and the day-to-day strain of parenting. She focuses on clear, practical steps and a warm, accepting presence in sessions.
She often helps people manage workplace stress, caregiver fatigue, and the mixed emotions that come with adoption and foster care. She also supports parents who are juggling sleep problems, attention challenges, mood concerns like bipolar, and the practical tasks of raising a family.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes building self-compassion and better communication. Stephanie uses a mix of familiar approaches to match each person’s needs. She leans on methods that teach skills for managing thoughts and feelings, and on relationship-focused work that looks at attachment and emotional connection.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what will make daily life easier. She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes family patterns and expectations. That attention helps when addressing family-of-origin issues, guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
The goal is to find realistic ways to feel steadier and more capable. For people wanting coaching-style support, she offers practical tools for career decisions and life transitions. For those wanting deeper emotional work, she blends empathy with exercises to change unhelpful patterns.
Stephanie aims to make therapy useful and doable for busy parents.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life-change work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for coping with life changes, managing difficult emotions, and taking steps that matter despite uncertainty.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current responses. This approach can help parents and caregivers understand connection, improve communication, and repair strained bonds.
Stephanie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to your goals and picks or blends methods that fit your situation. Over a few sessions she checks in and adjusts the plan so it stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers ways to fit sessions into busy family life. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and a quiet time are available. Phone sessions work well when a camera isn’t desired or internet speed is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins, quick coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy tools in real time.
