About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people through difficult times. She works with adults on issues like depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people build practical coping skills and clearer perspectives.
Clients find space to talk through painful experiences and to practice new ways of handling stress. Lucia uses conversational, person-centered interaction so people can identify values and set small, realistic goals. She pays attention to how attachment, family history, and life stress show up in everyday behavior.
Her background includes long-term work with mood disorders, trauma, workplace strain, and questions of identity and sexuality. Lucia helps people manage sleep trouble, anger, and compassion fatigue, and she supports those facing chronic illness or caregiving demands. She also addresses parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Therapy draws on practical methods such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior ideas. Sessions focus on useful steps - noticing patterns, practicing small changes, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Lucia works collaboratively so treatment fits each person’s values and daily life.
People who want a down-to-earth listener and a clear plan for moving forward often choose her. She invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and to begin with a short matching process to schedule a first session.

Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection that formed in relationships and how they affect current trust, closeness, and communication; it can help with relationship struggles and attachment wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lucia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. The process is collaborative and allows adjustments over time so therapy fits changing needs.
Confirm session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, choose not to be on camera, or manage bandwidth by picking audio-only conversations. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-based methods to these setups while focusing on practical tools and steps that work in day-to-day life.
