About Stephanie
Stephanie Casto is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in West Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and younger clients on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and family-related concerns. Her background includes work in agencies and private practice, and she has provided both in-person and online services.
She often sees people affected by complex trauma from abuse and neglect and uses trauma-focused methods to support emotional regulation and processing. Her practice includes work around parenting challenges, attachment and adoption issues, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress. She also helps people manage panic, mood shifts, feelings of shame or abandonment, and isolation.
Her clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to address symptoms and to work on practical skills for day-to-day life. Sessions include talk-based work and skill practice rather than tests or medical diagnosis.
Clients will find straightforward work on communication problems, forgiveness, self-esteem, and life purpose. Stephanie also supports people coping with career stress and compassion fatigue. She aims to help people notice how patterns from their family of origin continue to affect them now and to develop more workable habits.

How her approaches translate to online work
Stephanie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her clinical work. CBT is focused on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to change mood and reactions; it often includes homework and skill-building. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will discuss your goals, review what has or has not helped before, and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan over time based on how the work is progressing.
The original biography notes she has provided online services, but specific session formats were not detailed. Before booking, confirm the current session options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often blend talk-based techniques, skill practice, and trauma-processing methods in remote sessions to address family of origin patterns and related concerns.
