Lucia Stanfield

Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage major life changes and everyday stress. She focuses on clear, practical support for challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Lucia aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them and begin making small, steady changes.

She works with problems that often come together, such as mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addiction, and caregiving strain. Lucia also supports people facing identity and sexuality questions, sleep problems, anger, and difficulties concentrating that accompany ADHD. Her work includes helping people strengthen self-esteem, repair communication, and rebuild trust after loss or abandonment.

Lucia uses a mix of well-established methods to match each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance-based approaches to increase tolerance for difficult feelings. Attachment-informed ideas help when relationship patterns are part of the problem.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on usable skills and clearer understanding. Lucia helps clients set real goals and practices to try between meetings. Over time she supports people in building routines and strategies that fit their daily lives.

Her background includes two decades of clinical work across a wide range of concerns. Lucia works in English and accepts clients from outside the United States, and she brings a steady, experienced presence to therapy.

How Lucia’s approaches fit into online therapy

Lucia blends acceptance-based, attachment-focused, and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people handle life transitions and relationship stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then commit to actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people spot and change repeating interaction habits that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so practical steps can reduce symptoms and improve routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lucia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods that make sense for their situation. She treats the choice as collaborative, adjusting strategies if something is not helping.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives, cut commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care after a move or when living far from in-person options. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-focused work, and CBT techniques to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical skills and clearer relationships.
