About Stan
Stan Peck is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 10 years of clinical work. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, motivation, and self-esteem issues. He has experience supporting people through relationship and grief concerns too.
He has worked in inpatient mental health hospitals and has treated serious conditions including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as well as major depressive disorder. That background means he is familiar with higher-intensity care settings and the pace of hospital work.
In sessions he uses practical talking and evidence-based methods. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. That mix supports both short-term coping skills and deeper reflection on values and meaning.
People often come for help with addictions, sleep and eating problems, body image, and caregiver stress. He also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He works with those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, and other life changes.
Stan aims to match the discussion and plan to each person's needs. He asks questions, listens, and suggests practical strategies to try between sessions. To begin, people choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Approaches you might use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It helps with depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and many everyday stressors.
Dialetical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors. It can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when problems with impulsivity or self-harm arise.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can shift over time as your priorities change.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a school or work day, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or let you avoid travel when schedules are full. Licensed professionals use these options to keep therapy practical and connected to your everyday life.
