About Pneurissa
Pneurissa Stamps is an Illinois LCPC with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice notes social anxiety and phobia among common concerns she addresses.
In sessions she focuses on building clearer self-understanding. She uses everyday language and practical techniques to make sense of overwhelming feelings. Clients can expect a direct, person-centered style that explores how past experiences affect present reactions.
She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to develop calmer attention and reduce reactivity. Psychodynamic ideas are brought in to track recurring patterns linked to family of origin and attachment issues.
Pneurissa also uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete, short-term goals. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused approaches alongside other methods to address symptoms such as panic, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. She works with issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness.
Practical matters such as workplace stress, identity questions, and relationship communication are part of many sessions. She speaks English and provides care to people located in Illinois. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Pneurissa uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's perspective and immediate concerns. That means sessions often begin by naming what feels most urgent and using the conversation to shape the work together. This approach helps when social anxiety makes it hard to speak up because the therapist follows the client’s lead. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and panic. CBT in session involves simple experiments, tracking patterns between situations and feelings, and practicing new responses. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of bodily sensations and to reduce reactivity through brief attention exercises. Deciding which mix of methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, and then adjust the plan over time. The biography does not list specific online session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find phone or audio sessions simpler when video feels difficult, while others prefer video for visual cues; these practical differences can be discussed when arranging the first appointment.Areas of expertise
