About Stephanie
Stephanie Sammarco is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) practicing in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and anger. Sessions emphasize building trust and a straightforward therapeutic relationship from the start.
She has a broad clinical background that includes trauma and abuse, chronic pain and illness, and issues that affect caregivers and first responders. Stephanie also addresses attachment and blended family concerns, communication problems, codependency, and struggles around life purpose. She notes experience supporting LGBTQ clients and people facing isolation or major life transitions.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that feed stress and anger. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing are used at times to increase awareness and clarify goals.
In the therapy room she prioritizes a collaborative relationship and practical steps. Expect clear goals, concrete strategies, and space to talk through difficult feelings without judgment. Stephanie also has experience supervising clinicians and has worked across settings with individuals and couples.
To begin she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and aims to make the conversation feel straightforward and relevant. In practice this means sessions emphasize listening, reflecting, and shaping goals that matter to you.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable pieces. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress by teaching clear tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to help notice urges and bodily reactions without reacting immediately. It can be useful when anger or anxiety feels automatic and you want more control over responses.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Stephanie will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT skills, adding mindfulness exercises, or shifting focus as situations change.
