About Stacy

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who centers her work on helping people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depression. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Stacy emphasizes practical steps and steady support when someone decides to make a change.

She uses several well-known therapy methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions focus on clear goals such as managing intense feelings, reducing compulsive behaviors, improving sleep, or rebuilding trust after difficult events. Stacy aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable so progress can happen between meetings.

Her background includes four years of clinical work in Missouri, working with issues that often overlap like ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing career strain, eating and body image struggles, bipolar disorder, and challenges around life transitions.

In practical terms she talks through coping strategies, ways to notice patterns that keep problems going, and steps to try new behaviors. Stacy also draws on mindfulness and values-based exercises to help people clarify what matters most to them. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

People who come for help often want clear tools and calm guidance. Stacy aims to offer both, encouraging steady effort and recognizing small wins along the way.

How approach and online sessions work together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruptions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of the work and emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how things are going in early sessions. This collaborative way helps shape practical steps forward rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you want to know which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to try brief check-ins, practice skills between meetings, or meet without a commute, which helps people keep momentum while balancing everyday responsibilities.
