About Stacy

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Stacy also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, career pressures, and codependency patterns.

She frames the client as the expert on their own life and builds on each person’s strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday decisions rather than abstract theory. Stacy encourages small, achievable changes and steady progress over time.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and clarify what matters to them. Conversations are direct and focused on what the person wants to change.

Stacy has worked across common concerns such as compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. She also supports people navigating divorce, commitment worries, and co-occurring conditions like bipolar or chronic pain. Practical problem solving and skills practice are typical parts of sessions.

People seeking a therapist who emphasizes strengths, clear strategies, and gradual behavior change may find her approach a fit. The first meeting usually gathers history and identifies a few immediate goals to work on together.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills practice. CBT is frequently applied to anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Stacy will collaborate with each client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT and CBT tools, using mindful practices between sessions, or focusing on motivational interviewing when change feels uncertain.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use mindfulness exercises or homework in the moment of daily life. Licensed professionals adapt these methods so that therapy is practical and workable around everyday responsibilities.
