About Stacy
Stacy Freeland is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression among other concerns. Stacy describes clients as the experts of their own stories and centers work around clients' strengths.
Her approach begins with listening and clarifying what matters most to each person. Sessions use practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to notice thinking patterns and shift unhelpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people name values and take small steps toward them.
Motivational interviewing appears in conversations about change, especially when addiction, motivation, or stuckness get in the way. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize clear, respectful communication and collaboration. These methods aim to make therapy straightforward and doable for people with busy schedules.
Stacy works with a wide range of life issues beyond anxiety, including ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, career questions, anger, and sleep or eating difficulties. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency. Her practice covers both short-term problem solving and longer-term support for complex challenges.

How her approaches translate to online work
Stacy commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and learning concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns. ACT involves noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can be useful when people feel stuck or avoidant.She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. Early sessions review needs, goals, and preferences so together they decide which methods to emphasize. The therapist checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress or obstacles appear.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings between sessions. Licensed professionals and therapists generally use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into everyday life.
