About Stacy
Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and depression. Stacy also supports those managing parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life changes.
She starts from the idea that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on practical steps and on building strengths a person already has. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on realistic actions between visits.
Stacy uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing. These approaches help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, choose values-driven steps, and practice small changes that add up over time.
In sessions she listens for what is most pressing and suggests skills to try. That might include tracking thoughts, practicing short mindfulness exercises, or setting small behavioral experiments to test new habits. The work is collaborative - she offers options and the person picks what fits.
Her background includes experience supporting people through addiction recovery, trauma-related concerns, caregiver stress, and grief. The focus is on clear, manageable strategies that can be used at home and in daily life.
Stacy offers help in English for adults living in Missouri. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking committed action toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can make their own sense of problems and solutions.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stacy will discuss goals, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps most. The process is collaborative so the person has a say in which techniques to use and how sessions proceed.
Confirm the specific online session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and let someone attend without traveling. Several therapeutic exercises - thought records, mindfulness practices, and behavior experiments - translate well to remote sessions. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to match your routine and needs.
