About Stephanie
Stephanie Altomonte is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, ADHD, and the pressures of early adulthood. Her work often includes concerns about relationships, sleep, career direction, and coping with life changes.
Stephanie uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavior ideas and acceptance-based work to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build new habits. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when people are weighing change or breaking unhelpful routines.
Many clients come with specific struggles like substance use, control issues, postpartum mood shifts, or seasonal mood changes. She also has experience supporting veterans and people coping with grief or trauma. Sessions focus on short-term strategies and longer-term skills to manage symptoms and daily pressures.
In meetings she aims for straightforward conversation. Clients can expect to talk about current problems, try simple exercises, and set concrete next steps between sessions. The emphasis is on what works in everyday life - improving sleep, handling workplace stress, or navigating the early adult milestones of study, work, and relationships.
People who are ready to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and services are offered in English to residents within the United States.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to reduce symptoms. It often helps with panic, insomnia, social anxiety, and low mood.
Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and increase awareness of the present moment, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support better sleep and emotion regulation.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches together to see what fits. This is a collaborative decision rather than a one-time choice.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work, or caregiving. They can also allow shorter check-ins, fewer travel barriers, and more flexibility for scheduling while using the therapist's chosen methods.
