About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield is a Florida LMHC with 20 years of experience helping adults who notice patterns from their family background still affecting their lives. She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, parenting stress, grief, and issues connected to identity and sexuality. Lucia lists family-related topics and attachment issues among her focuses, and she supports people who want clearer boundaries and healthier patterns.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. Lucia guides people to notice how early roles and expectations shaped beliefs and behavior. She helps identify small changes that reduce repeated conflict and emotional reactivity. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with skills practice and reflection between meetings.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods inform how she addresses anxiety, trauma history, mood shifts, and relationship patterns. She adapts techniques to suit each person's pace and priorities.
Lucia has two decades of clinical experience in a range of settings. That background supports work on complex issues like co-morbidity, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and abandonment concerns. She also helps with practical problems such as sleep disruption, career stress, and communication difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The enrollment process uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Approaches used in virtual sessions
Lucia commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work online. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and identifying values-based actions; it can help with anxiety, depression, and making behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early caregiving patterns affect current relationships and emotion regulation, which is useful for people dealing with intimacy, abandonment, or ongoing family conflict.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean mixing ACT techniques with attachment-focused conversation and practical CBT or DBT skills when helpful.
