Stacee Compton, LPC-MH

Stacee Compton is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health (LPC-MH) in South Dakota with 15 years of experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and children on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with blended and adoptive family concerns and childhood behavioral issues.

Stacee focuses on understanding how patterns from the family someone grew up in affect current life. She talks with people about attachment, communication habits, and family of origin issues that show up in adult relationships. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clearer ways to talk about hard topics at home.

Her approach draws from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and narrative therapy. Those methods are used to explore how earlier relationships shaped expectations, to listen closely to a person's experience, and to help rewrite the stories people tell about themselves. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when they fit a client's goals.

Stacee has a lot of experience with adoption and foster care situations, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and coping with life changes like divorce or relocation.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about what feels stuck and what could change. She asks about goals, suggests small experiments, and reviews progress in ways that are easy to understand.
