Stacy Freeland

Stacy Freeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who works with people facing trauma, stress, anxiety, and addiction. She centers Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people who are dealing with painful past experiences and current challenges. Stacy speaks plainly and makes space for each person to tell their story.

Stacy treats depression, ADHD, grief, and issues around relationships and intimacy. She also helps with sleep and eating struggles, career stress, caregiver strain, and burnout. Additional areas she notices often include abandonment, attachment concerns, chronic health-related stress, and communication problems.

Her style is client-centered. She treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are used to help people set goals, try small changes, and notice what matters most.

Stacy aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She encourages mindfulness practices and simple tools for coping with big emotions and unhelpful patterns.

With four years of counseling experience, Stacy combines straightforward talk with gentle support. People who are ready to work through trauma, manage anxiety, or address addictions will find a therapist who listens, validates, and helps map the next steps.

How trauma-informed methods and ACT translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful past events in small, manageable steps and build ways to feel safer in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and burnout. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and creating a respectful space where the person leads the pace and content of therapy.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Stacy will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and current needs. That collaborative process may include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on how it feels and what progress is being made.

Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into busy days, reducing travel time, and allowing check-ins during a lunch break or evening. Online work also makes it easier to practice mindfulness and coping exercises between meetings so skills can be used in real life.
