Stephanie Simonton-Atchley's research focuses on the psychological and behavioral aspects of chronic illness, particularly in adults with cystic fibrosis. Her work investigates the long-term associations between mental health indicators such as depression, gratitude, and spiritual coping mechanisms, and their impact on patient well-being over time. Simonton-Atchley has explored patient adherence to medical regimens, including airway clearance therapy, and the factors influencing these behaviors.

Her research has also extended to the psychological adjustments individuals make during public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, examining how concepts like disappointment with God and the search for meaning affect mental health outcomes. Simonton-Atchley has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Mark L. Williams and Catherine E. O’Brien, contributing to a body of work that spans qualitative studies on end-of-life care preparedness and longitudinal analyses of mental health in diverse patient populations.
