Stacie Story

Stacie Story is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience who helps people facing big life changes and everyday stressors. She focuses on issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, and relationship struggles. Her work often centers on parenting concerns, caregiver stress, and the emotional shifts that come with aging. She brings a calm, compassionate presence to each session.

Her style is straightforward and client-centered. That means conversations start with the client's priorities and move at a pace that feels right for them. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. Dialectical behavior ideas help when emotions feel overwhelming and clearer skills are needed to manage them.

Stacie often supports people who feel isolated or drained by caregiving roles. She helps people talk through family-of-origin problems and communication breakdowns. When parenting or intimacy issues arise, she works on concrete steps clients can try between sessions. She also addresses career stress and the daily pressures that wear people down.

Her approach includes short-term solution-focused planning when a quick path forward is helpful. She combines that with longer-term work when goals require deeper reflection. Sessions are aimed at helping people find practical next steps while building a stronger sense of self and purpose.

Stacie practices in South Carolina and provides care in English. Her profile reflects a career spent supporting adults through transitions, loss, and the challenges of juggling roles and responsibilities.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to name their goals, tell their story, and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical exercises to test new ways of coping with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and daily rhythm to choose techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue consistent work through life transitions without rearranging as many obligations. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps to learn which session options are currently available and what will best fit your routine.
