Stacy Freeland, LPC

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who centers her work on helping people find clearer, more manageable ways through difficult times. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depression while encouraging clients to use their own strengths. Stacy presents therapy as a collaborative effort and aims to support people taking first steps toward change.

She believes each person knows their story best and builds on those existing strengths. Sessions emphasize practical skills for day-to-day life, such as managing overwhelming feelings, improving sleep and eating patterns, and handling relationship or work stress. Stacy uses straightforward strategies so people can see usable progress between visits.

Her approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing also appear in sessions when they fit a person’s goals. These methods are used to address a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Stacy has four years of professional experience and works with people facing issues across many areas of life, from caregiving stress and chronic illness to intimacy-related problems and career frustrations. She encourages honest conversation about what is and isn’t working, and she helps clients set realistic steps forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and supporting the person's own problem solving, which can help with self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is tracked.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Licensed professionals tailor session length and style to fit everyday life while focusing on the goals you bring to therapy.
