Stacy Freeland

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to overcome life’s challenges. Stacy offers calm, straightforward support for people taking first steps toward change.

She helps with stress and anxiety and addresses depression and trauma and abuse. Stacy also supports people coping with addictions and runs sessions aimed at building coping skills and clearer daily routines. Her style is direct but warm, and she aims to empower clients rather than tell them what to do.

Stacy uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to guide conversations. Sessions often include small exercises, goal-setting, and ways to notice and change unhelpful patterns. The focus is on usable strategies that fit into everyday life.

With four years of experience as an LPC in Missouri, Stacy has worked with a broad range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, ADHD, and issues around identity such as LGBT concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and challenges linked to aging.

People who want a collaborative, strengths-based experience will find Stacy straightforward and encouraging. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action toward what matters to them. It often includes simple exercises to clarify values and small, practical steps to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy uses brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and may combine methods to suit specific needs. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in sessions so techniques match real-life concerns and schedules.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, or pick a quieter time for a shorter check-in. It also supports continuity when routines shift, helping people keep working on skills between sessions.
