About Stacy
Stacy Freeland is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She centers sessions on the client's goals and strengths. Stacy listens, asks clear questions, and helps people find steps they can try between meetings.
Her work addresses common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people managing ADHD, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-minded while honoring each person's story. Stacy draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. That means she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, clarify values, and choose small, manageable actions.
Motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques are used when they fit the person's pace and goals. She has four years of professional experience as an LPC in Missouri. Stacy emphasizes collaboration: she works with each person to set realistic steps and track progress.
Meetings are a place to test options, adjust plans, and build daily habits that reduce overwhelm. Her style is supportive and direct. Stacy encourages practical tools alongside personal reflection.
People who want clear guidance, focused strategies, and steady encouragement may find this approach useful.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and pick small actions that match those values. In practice this can reduce avoidance and make daily routines feel more directed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own expertise about their life, creating space for choices to emerge.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions may include skill practice, short experiments, or reflective conversation depending on what the client prefers.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep consistent sessions and try different ways of meeting as needs change.
