About Stacee
Stacee Compton is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) in South Dakota with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and communication concerns, parenting challenges, and related issues such as ADHD and grief. Sessions are presented in a straightforward way so people can understand what happens from the first meeting.
Compton has worked with children, adolescents, and adults, and has particular experience supporting blended and adoptive families and people facing childhood behavioral disorders. She focuses on clear conversation, practical strategies, and exploring how early attachments and life stories shape current problems.
Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. That means sessions may include noticing patterns in relationships, using mindfulness skills to manage stress, and talking through personal stories to find new meanings and options. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's comfort.
In practice she pays attention to relationship patterns and family background while helping people try small, doable changes. Techniques can include guided reflection, gentle behavioral steps, and motivational conversation to support change. The emphasis is on what the person wants to work toward and practical ways to get there.
Many people meet to address social anxiety, self-esteem, or difficulties speaking up in groups. Compton uses plain language and step-by-step planning so sessions are easy to follow. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current interactions and communication. In online sessions this often means mapping recurring patterns and practicing different responses during conversations or role-plays. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can make their own choices; online meetings can mirror that by giving space for honest talk and careful feedback. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and increase awareness, which can be practiced between meetings and reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help determine which combination of methods fits a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
The practical benefits of online sessions include making it easier to fit meetings into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or let someone choose audio rather than video if that feels easier. Confirm the current session options before booking so they match your schedule and daily routines.
