About Stephanie
Stephanie Altomonte is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and addictions. Her work also addresses self-esteem, grief, sleep problems, and life transitions.
Stephanie uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want practical steps toward change.
Background and approach
Many clients come for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, career uncertainty, or problems tied to trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing bipolar mood concerns, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and challenges tied to substance use. Young adult issues and control-related struggles are part of her regular caseload.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, simple skills, and real-world practice. Meetings look at what is causing distress now and what small steps could reduce it. Mindfulness exercises and values work are often paired with behavioral experiments and thought work to create lasting shifts.
Her background includes long-term work with veterans and people managing addiction recovery. That experience informs a practical, steady style that balances empathy with concrete tools. Stephanie aims to help people find direction, build coping skills, and move toward the life they want.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps people facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and issues of direction or purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, teaching practical skills for anxiety, mood, sleep, and addiction-related habits. Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will listen to your needs and preferences, then suggest methods that fit your goals. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust as progress is made. Online therapy gives several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or scheduling quick coaching-style support between longer sessions. These online options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, try different formats, and keep momentum between sessions while working toward concrete changes.Questions people ask
