About Stacy
Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Stacy also addresses challenges like ADHD, grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Stacy emphasizes a person-centered approach that respects each individual's story and strengths. In sessions she listens closely, helps people clarify what matters to them, and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Conversations focus on day-to-day steps clients can try between meetings.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build more consistent routines for sleep, eating, and coping.
People often come to Stacy to untangle family-of-origin patterns, attachment concerns, and repeated relational roles that show up in adult life. She also helps clients manage stress related to caregiving, chronic illness, or major life transitions.
Sessions involve clear goals and collaborative planning. Stacy supports clients who want coaching-style guidance alongside traditional counseling tools. To start, she asks about current struggles and what the client hopes will be different, then proposes practical next steps and measurable goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to family-of-origin expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments, which can help with stress, sleep, and changes in routine. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients can name their goals and priorities more clearly.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try methods in sessions, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process makes it easier to match tools to problems like communication patterns, avoidance, or managing impulses.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce commuting time. Talk with the therapist about practical needs such as session length, whether video or audio works better, and how to fit meetings into daily life.
