Stacy Freeland, LPC

Stacy Freeland is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri who centers sessions on practical tools and clear steps. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Stacy emphasizes collaboration and honors each person's experience as the starting point for change.

She sees people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Addictions, attention challenges such as ADHD, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder are also within her focus. Stacy also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and career or life transitions.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered ways of working. That means she offers practical strategies, attention to personal values, and a respectful listening style. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit a person’s goals.

Sessions look at what is getting in the way now and what small, manageable steps could change daily life. Stacy believes strengths in a person’s story can be built on to improve coping and move toward goals. She frames therapy as a process of trying things, checking what works, and adapting plans.

Stacy has four years of professional experience and holds the LPC credential. She conducts sessions in English for people located in Missouri and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then scheduling is arranged.

How Stacy Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Stacy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems, then tests small changes to see what helps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and learning to make space for difficult thoughts while taking steps toward a meaningful life.

She also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening and adapting to what feels most helpful. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; Stacy will collaborate with clients to pick or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps make therapy feel relevant and doable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals from different locations and routines.
