About Stacie
Stacie Story is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship or family concerns. Sessions also address parenting, caregiver strain, grief, life changes, and questions about purpose.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through communication problems and family of origin issues. She also supports those dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, postpartum depression, and isolation or loneliness.
Stacie uses evidence-informed methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. That can mean practicing specific skills for managing strong emotions, learning pacing and boundaries, or problem-solving around daily challenges. She aims to strengthen self-esteem and improve day-to-day functioning rather than promise a quick fix.
A portion of her work focuses on women’s issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and caregiver stress. She also assists people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career strain, intimacy-related issues, and rebuilding connection after loss.
Clients can expect clear guidance on communication, concrete techniques for handling anger and frustration, and regular review of what is working. To begin, she asks people to identify immediate goals and then tries methods that fit those goals. Over time the focus shifts as progress is made and priorities change.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions flow
Stacie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful listening and helping people clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. That approach offers specific skills for managing intense feelings, handling conflict, and steadier decision making. Together these methods support work on anger, communication, and coping with life transitions.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the first sessions. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as needed. This is a collaborative process that tests what helps and then expands on effective steps.
The site notes session formats separately, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the booking steps about scheduling and how to structure sessions to match daily life.
