01About Stephanie
Stephanie Sammarco is a licensed professional counselor who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice in New Jersey. She aims to make first contacts simple and straightforward so people can focus on their concerns rather than the process of starting therapy. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and navigate relationship and parenting strains.
Stephanie also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, depression, and life transitions. She works with issues related to identity and the LGBT community and addresses compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical methods with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. Stephanie uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and shape sessions around each person’s needs. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral strategies to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also brings mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and build present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify goals and strengthen readiness for change. When helpful, she draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns rooted in past experience.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Stephanie’s practice considers practical matters like coping with chronic pain, blended family stress, communication problems, codependency, and life-purpose questions. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions begin by hearing your concerns, values, and goals, and then shaping conversations to meet those needs. This approach helps when someone needs an accepting space to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is about spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing different responses. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change unhelpful habits and reactions.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness of current experience. These exercises can support coping with chronic pain, worry, and strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. This is a collaborative process that centers the client’s preferences and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection and quick check-ins between scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
