About Stephanie
Stephanie Altomonte is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience who focuses on practical help for everyday parenting challenges. She uses down-to-earth language and clear steps so parents can try things between sessions and see what works. Stephanie helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addictions while also addressing sleep problems and self-esteem struggles.
She supports those coping with life changes, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
Parenting appears as a central focus and she works with parents to reduce overwhelm and build routines that fit family life. Her style combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered outlook. Sessions tend to emphasize concrete skills - small behavior changes, short experiments, and values-based choices - rather than long theoretical talks.
She also draws on experience with veteran issues and substance concerns when relevant. Stephanie aims to make therapy collaborative. She asks about daily routines, goals for parenting, and specific stress points, then creates an approachable plan.
That plan may include short practices to try at home and ways to track progress. Based in Pennsylvania, she offers services through online formats that can fit a parent's schedule. Sessions focus on realistic strategies to improve coping, restore better sleep, and help people feel steadier in whatever stage of parenting they are navigating.

Online approaches that fit parenting life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that line up with what matters most. It can help parents respond to stress and make values-based choices in the midst of a busy day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying specific thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems, and then testing small changes to change outcomes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, daily routines, and preferences. That might mean blending ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing into a practical plan that adapts as needs change. Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling parenting and work. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and coach in real time, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text messaging can be useful for brief questions or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and try strategies where they matter most.Questions people ask about Stephanie
