About Stacie
Stacie Story is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and family-related issues including family of origin patterns and parenting struggles. Sessions are informed by faith when clients want that included.
She focuses on practical skills you can use between appointments. That includes communication strategies, emotion regulation tools, and ways to manage compassion fatigue or caregiver stress. She also helps people dealing with grief, life changes, and questions about life purpose.
Stacie uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior approaches, and solution-focused ideas. In practice that means listening to what matters most to the client, then testing small changes to see what works. She blends talk and action to build clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
Many adults come to her because patterns from their family of origin still shape their choices and relationships. She helps people recognize those patterns, set boundaries, and try new ways of connecting. Her approach also addresses issues such as postpartum depression, addiction concerns, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and intimacy-related struggles when those topics arise.
People from caregiving roles and those navigating aging or isolation often seek her support for practical problem solving. She invites clients to work on concrete goals like improving communication, reducing anxiety symptoms, and rebuilding self-regard through steady practice and reflection.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's concerns to build trust and clarify goals. In practice this looks like the therapist asking open questions, reflecting what she hears, and helping the client decide what to work on next.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing alternative responses.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those techniques can help people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship patterns, or self-directed anger.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to identify goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. This is presented as a shared decision rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these features to help clients keep steady progress while managing everyday responsibilities.
