About Stephanie Casto
With five years of clinical experience, Stephanie has supported clients of all ages, including children, teens, adolescents, and adults, in both online and in-person settings through agency work and private practice. Much of her caseload has involved complex trauma stemming from abuse and neglect, and she applies a trauma-informed framework that prioritizes emotional regulation and gradual processing so that past events do not prevent clients from pursuing meaningful, satisfying lives.
Stephanie also works with people facing depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and anger management. Her practice includes support for family- and parenting-related concerns, self-esteem and life transitions, and professional or caregiver stress. Seeking therapy requires courage, and Stephanie approaches that journey with empathy, practical strategies, and a focus on helping each person move toward greater wellbeing.

Evidence-based approaches for trauma and everyday stress delivered online
Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy that supports people in processing distressing memories and reducing the intensity of painful reactions to past events. EMDR is often used when trauma memories continue to disrupt daily functioning.
