About Stan

Stan Peck is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Alabama with ten years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, motivation, and self-esteem. He also has experience addressing addictions, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family issues.

He has worked in inpatient mental health settings and has supported people diagnosed with serious conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. That background gives him familiarity with complex symptom patterns and ongoing care needs. He frames work in straightforward terms and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. He draws on several evidence-based approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. Expect a mix of skills practice, guided reflection, and planning for new behaviors rather than long academic explanations.

He pays attention to people’s family of origin issues when those early patterns still shape current relationships and behavior. He also addresses problems such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Stan uses a range of strategies from acceptance and commitment work to cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior tools. He supports clients as they test new ways of coping, manage difficult emotions, and set realistic goals for everyday life.

How Stan integrates therapy approaches for online sessions

Stan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that align with them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with long-standing patterns like avoidance, low motivation, or family-rooted expectations.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on method that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many practical daily concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods fit a person’s goals and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs and priorities shift.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also make it simpler to continue work during life transitions or when juggling parenting and work obligations.
