About Stacy

Stacy Herman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with seven years of experience. She has worked in community clinics and school settings and regularly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting concerns, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes.

Stacy trained with a Master of Arts in Education from Chadron State College and has spent multiple years supporting individuals in community-based settings. That experience includes working alongside school staff and families to address communication problems, self-esteem, and challenges related to autism and attachment. Her background includes both clinical and educational work around family dynamics and parenting styles.

In sessions she keeps language direct and practical. She pays attention to how thoughts shape feelings and behavior, and she focuses on what people can do differently in day-to-day life. Conversations often look at patterns of thinking, clearer ways to communicate with family, and step-by-step changes that reduce stress.

Her approach blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches, plus elements of motivational interviewing and narrative therapy. That mix is used to help people manage symptoms, improve relationships, and make realistic plans for change.

Stacy welcomes straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session to begin practical work on the issues they brought up.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people identify their own goals. It supports people who need someone to reflect their concerns back and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage moods. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that can help with stress, sleep, and emotional reactivity.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Stacy will discuss goals, what has helped or not helped before, and what feels comfortable for the client. That collaboration guides which tools and exercises are used in sessions and between appointments.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the original profile does not specify formats. Ask which session formats are offered when you set up the first appointment. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a work or school day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so therapy fits ordinary routines.
