Lucia Stanfield, LMHC

Lucia Stanfield is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people face major life changes and emotional struggles. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and midlife questions. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps people can use right away.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about addiction, trauma, parenting stress, identity, and work-related strain. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress instead of jargon. Lucia helps people understand patterns that keep them stuck and then build different habits.

Her background includes work across mood disorders, ADHD, bipolar conditions, and complex medical or caregiving stress. She also addresses issues such as intimacy, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem in everyday terms people understand. Lucia pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and blended family histories shape current relationships.

Therapeutic methods are chosen to fit each person. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These methods are used together to match a person’s goals and pace.

Lucia accepts international clients and works in English. Session logistics and cost vary, and she asks people to confirm current scheduling and format options before booking. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and coping with chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective habits, often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that formed early and how they affect current closeness and trust; it can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucia will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time if something isn’t helping, and she encourages clear short-term goals alongside longer-term growth.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or caregiving duties, fewer travel demands, and the ability to maintain continuity during life changes. Because session formats are not detailed here, confirm current options before booking so you know what will work best for you. Many people find that meeting with a licensed professional this way makes it simpler to keep regular momentum toward their goals.
