About Stacie
Stacie Armstrong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and depression. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where adults can talk about what’s hard and find practical ways forward. Parents and caregivers reading this will find clear, straightforward language and a focus on real-life solutions.
In session she listens first, then works collaboratively to build goals that fit daily life. Stacie uses proven approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and make grounded choices.
Her background includes long clinical experience across Texas and Arkansas that shaped a practical style. Sessions emphasize active skills practice, problem solving, and steady support rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase usable tools for home and work.
Stacie pays particular attention to attachment and relationships, and she helps people address intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, and challenges tied to adoption, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also works with issues related to addiction, sleep, and career stress.
People who choose her can expect gentle challenge, clear feedback, and concrete strategies to try between visits. She invites potential clients to consider what they want to change and to start with a single small step toward that goal.

Step 3
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Stacie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and work-related stress. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match what matters most in life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress develops. This is a collaborative process where feedback helps shape future sessions.
Formats for online sessions are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins between commitments. It can also let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth, or choose a briefer session when time is limited. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and comfort.
