About Stacie
Stacie Brethauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life changes. Stacie also lists work with parenting concerns, grief, addictions, ADHD, and family of origin issues.
Stacie uses straightforward, practical strategies in sessions. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, Attachment-Based ideas, Emotionally-Focused methods, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear coping skills and small changes that can be used in daily life.
Clients talk through what is most pressing and together they choose strategies to try. Stacie aims to make steps easy to practice between meetings. She helps people notice patterns carried over from childhood and the family they grew up in, and then explore different ways of responding.
Her work often includes improving communication, managing anxiety, and rebuilding confidence after loss or big changes. She also supports people dealing with blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, fatherhood concerns, and issues around commitment and codependency.
Stacie’s sessions are practical and focused. She guides people to identify one or two changes that matter most and then practices those changes in session. That approach is intended to make progress feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.
How Stacie’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In an online session this can mean noticing how someone reacts to closeness and distance and practicing different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with small behavioral experiments. CBT work online commonly uses brief exercises and homework that fit into daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the person to pick approaches that match goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses based on what proves helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday or a work break, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone calls when video is difficult, while others use longer video sessions for deeper skills practice. Discussing these practical arrangements is part of the first meeting so sessions can fit everyday life.
