About Stacy

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and related concerns. Stacy sees clients who want clearer thinking and better ways to respond to hard moments.

She approaches therapy from a practical stance. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Mindfulness and Client-Centered therapy show up in sessions as straightforward exercises and focused listening.

In a session Stacy helps people identify what matters to them and what gets in the way. She guides simple experiments to test different behaviors and thoughts. Conversations often include goal-setting, short practices to lower reactivity, and reflections on what worked between sessions.

Stacy also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people are ambivalent about change. That approach is used to clarify motivation and set achievable next steps. For people dealing with addiction or low motivation, this can make a plan feel more doable.

Her work covers practical life issues such as sleep, parenting strain, relationship stress, career concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Stacy helps clients break stuck patterns that feed anger and build more reliable ways to respond.

Stacy practices in Missouri and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. Online sessions can use ACT to map what matters and plan steps you can try between appointments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; online meetings can include brief skill practice and homework to test new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attentional exercises to help reduce reactivity and notice triggers more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacy will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means checking in after a few sessions and adjusting strategies if something isn't helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit around a job, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commuting time. Online sessions can make regular practice easier to maintain and let therapy focus on concrete skills for handling anger and stress.
