Stephanie Mastroantonio , LCSW

Stephanie Mastroantonio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado who helps people navigate complex life changes and pursue meaningful personal growth. With nine years of clinical experience, she blends practical skills with a compassionate outlook to support individuals facing transitions related to career, parenting, midlife, or adoption and foster care.

Her work emphasizes building self-compassion, improving communication, and working through attachment and family-of-origin patterns that can shape current relationships. She has particular experience supporting women, caregivers, and those managing workplace stress, caregiver fatigue, ADHD, or bipolar-related concerns. Stephanie also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, multicultural concerns, and the development of healthier relationship habits.

Stephanie creates a nonjudgmental, culturally aware therapeutic space where clients and she collaborate on goals like improving sleep, strengthening parenting skills, enhancing career resilience, or coping with major life transitions. She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person, meeting them where they are and guiding them toward greater self-understanding and practical strategies for daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life. It is useful for coping with transitions, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and relational responses. It supports people working through attachment issues, adoption- and foster-related concerns, and family-of-origin dynamics to build more secure connections.

Stephanie approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the work. She and each client explore which approaches best fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to support progress.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
