About Stacie

Stacie Armstrong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Arkansas with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Stacie aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and situations without judgement.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to address day-to-day struggles. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building skills that fit into regular life. Stacie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping strategies and emotional regulation skills.

Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship and intimacy issues. Those ideas help when past relationships affect how someone reacts to closeness or rejection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy also appears in her work, helping people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values.

Stacie has supported people with ADHD, addictions, sleep problems, self-esteem and career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also has experience with topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image challenges. Her approach combines skills training with longer conversations about patterns and values.

People meet practical goals in short- and longer-term work. Stacie encourages gentle experimentation - trying new responses and noting what helps. To start, she asks about current struggles and what a better day would look like, then plans sessions around those aims.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values, which can be useful when anger leads to regret or distance from others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new responses in tense moments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in heated situations.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can involve trying a skill for a few weeks and then adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. When formats are available, consider which setup helps you focus - fewer visual demands, a quicker phone check-in, or a longer video session for deeper work.
