About Stephanie
Stephanie Altomonte is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and related issues such as sleep problems and low self-esteem.
She uses practical, skills-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause distress. Sessions are conversational and focused on learning tools that can be used between meetings. Stephanie also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support behavior change and relapse prevention.
Many clients come for help with life transitions, career stress, parenting strain, or grief. She has experience addressing substance and process addictions, control issues, and seasonal affective disorder. Stephanie also supports people working through trauma reactions and complicated mood concerns, including bipolar mood swings.
Her work often emphasizes developing clearer goals and practical coping steps. Clients practice skills in session and plan how to apply them in daily routines. The therapist pays attention to what is realistic for each person’s life and adjusts pace and focus accordingly.
Stephanie asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Payment and session details vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How CBT and ACT inform online sessions
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize patterns of thinking and behavior and then try small, practical experiments to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day stressors.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them, and to clarify values that guide meaningful steps forward. ACT can be helpful for people struggling with avoidance, persistent worry, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and life situation, and she adjusts techniques as needed. This is a joint process that focuses on what is workable for the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals commonly adapt homework, breathing and grounding exercises, and behavioral experiments so they work between meetings and within everyday routines.
