Stacy Freeland, LPC

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. Stacy emphasizes the strengths each person already has and supports them as they move toward change.

Stacy believes people know their own stories best. She listens without judgment and helps clients identify practical steps forward. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at making progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

In sessions she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and set small goals that reflect what matters most to them. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are also used to build steady coping skills.

Stacy works with a wide range of concerns beyond core issues like anxiety and depression. She helps people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, attention challenges, chronic health issues, and career stress. She also supports those navigating commitment, communication, and caregiving challenges.

With four years of counseling experience, Stacy aims to make the first steps easier. She offers a calm presence and practical tools so people can try new ways of coping and make meaningful changes over time.

How Stacy's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to help clarify goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change during therapy.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, video or phone sessions help maintain momentum between in-person visits and let therapy continue around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
