About Stephanie
Stephanie Altomonte is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and life transitions. Her practice also covers grief, sleep struggles, parenting strain, career questions, and attention-related concerns.
Stephanie uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help clients notice what matters, shift unhelpful thinking, and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when substance use or change readiness are central concerns.
Sessions focus on concrete steps a person can try between meetings. That might include brief behavioral experiments, values clarification, or practical strategies for managing intense emotions. She helps people name patterns such as control issues, obsessive habits, or recurring anger and then test small changes to those patterns.
Her background includes long-term work with veterans, people dealing with seasonal mood shifts, and those recovering from drug or alcohol problems. She also supports people wrestling with postpartum depression, bipolar mood concerns, or social anxiety as those come up in therapy.
Stephanie encourages straightforward planning for goals like improving relationships, reducing workplace frustration, or handling parenting stress. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to start the process.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Stephanie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward what matters, even when emotions feel overwhelming. ACT is useful for issues like anxiety, anger, and life changes where getting clear on priorities matters.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors. CBT works well for stress, depression, sleep problems, and habit change by focusing on concrete skills and short experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stephanie collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and situation, and she adjusts strategies as progress and preferences become clearer.
