Stacy Freeland, LPC

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and depression. Stacy approaches each person as the expert on their own life and offers steady support as they work toward change.

Stacy believes small steps lead to meaningful shifts. She encourages practical actions and clearer choices. In sessions she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps identify next steps that feel do-able for the person in front of her.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and career matters. Stacy also addresses issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment and aging-related challenges. Her experience covers both immediate problems and longer-running patterns that cause pain.

Stacy uses several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on acceptance-focused strategies, cognitive tools that shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered listening. These methods are combined in ways that fit each person rather than following a rigid plan.

People who choose Stacy can expect a direct and compassionate style. She prioritizes collaboration and practical coping skills. Her goal is to help people move toward a more satisfying life while honoring their pace and priorities.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting dominated by them while clarifying what matters most. It can be useful for problems like anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve functioning. This approach often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and reflection so the person feels heard and can access their own solutions; it supports motivation and self-direction in therapy.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, strengths, and daily life. She adapts tools over time so interventions stay useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during transitions like midlife changes. It can also let someone choose quieter times for shorter check-ins or use video when a face-to-face feel is helpful. Talk with Stacy about how sessions can be arranged to suit your routine and needs.
