About Stacy
Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures and broader concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and depression. Stacy also helps people facing ADHD, relationship and family-related worries, grief, self-esteem and career questions.
Stacy frames sessions around the client's own story and strengths. She invites clients to identify what matters to them and to try practical steps that fit daily life. Conversations focus on manageable changes rather than long lectures or strict homework demands.
Her practice may include methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered approaches. That means sessions can mix mindful awareness, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building small behavior changes that line up with personal values. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to support decision-making.
People often come for help with sleep and eating struggles, work stress, intimacy and parenting strain, or coping after loss. Stacy also lists supports for more complex patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, chronic illness, and disruptive mood concerns. She can talk through practical steps for anger, communication problems, and life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Missouri. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment. The counselor emphasizes clear, conversational sessions and practical tools you can try between meetings.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that reflect personal values. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck during life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause stress or interfere with daily life. It often helps with sleep, anxiety, and mood management.
Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration, allowing the client to guide which topics matter most while the therapist offers reflection and practical feedback.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration may include trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Ask about the available session length and scheduling to see how it can fit into your daily routine.
