About Stephanie Casto

Stephanie Casto is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Registered Play Therapist practicing in West Virginia. She is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps children, adolescents, and their caregivers process traumatic experiences and rebuild healthy coping skills.

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.

In her trauma-focused work, Stephanie draws on structured methods to support emotional regulation and gentle processing of difficult experiences, with particular experience helping clients impacted by abuse and neglect. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy modalities include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregivers, and those who prefer remote options. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session types, and access licensed professionals from your own community.
