About Stacie
Stacie Armstrong is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and addiction. She supports those dealing with anger, sleep problems, low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, career stress, and burnout. Her approach aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and straightforward for someone unsure where to start.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Stacie listens for patterns in both thoughts and bodily responses to stress, and helps clients notice what shows up in the body as well as the mind. Her work draws on somatic ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means sessions can include attention to physical sensations, values-based goal setting, and practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking.
She also uses attachment-informed perspectives to understand relationship patterns. Stacie holds a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor credential - TX LPC 66719 - and an Arkansas LPC credential - AR LPC P1203039. Those credentials reflect many years spent in clinical settings and community work across different concerns.
Sessions are available in English and the practice accepts international clients. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after completing a short matching questionnaire.
How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online
Somatic ideas focus on how the body responds to stress and emotions. In sessions this can mean noticing breathing, muscle tension, or other sensations and using gentle exercises to help people feel more grounded. This approach is useful for anxiety, trauma-related stress, and tension that shows up physically.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It uses simple practices to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful behavior changes, which can reduce avoidance and build resilience.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape expectations. It helps people understand connection needs and work toward healthier ways of relating to others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Over a few sessions they adjust methods so work matches the client's pace and needs.
Online therapy through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, follow up between visits, and use short check-ins when needed. Many people find the variety of online options helps them stay consistent with therapy while fitting it into everyday life.
