Stephanie Mastroantonio, LCSW

Stephanie Mastroantonio is a Colorado LCSW with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing life transitions, workplace stress, parenting challenges, and concerns such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Stephanie also focuses on adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and family of origin issues.

She centers sessions on practical communication skills and building more compassionate ways of relating to oneself. Conversations often include looking at how early family roles and expectations continue to shape current relationships. Stephanie helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding in everyday situations.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work guide conversations about closeness and emotional responsiveness.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. clients can expect to talk through specific problems, set small goals, and practice new skills between meetings. She pays attention to cultural background and how that affects relationships and identity.

Stephanie has worked with caregivers, women managing midlife changes, and people juggling career and family demands. She welcomes questions about how sessions might address guilt, shame, forgiveness, or the strain that caregiving can bring.
