Lucia Stanfield

Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, and parenting strain. Her work often supports those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, sleep problems, and major life changes.

Lucia creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for clients to talk through what feels most urgent. She listens for how habits, beliefs, and relationships shape daily life. Sessions focus on small, practical steps people can try between meetings to notice change.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take chosen action. Attachment-based ideas show up when relationships and early care experiences affect current patterns.

Lucia also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. Client-centered principles guide the pace and focus, keeping the client’s priorities central. This mix supports work on issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy problems, and compassion fatigue.

She works with topics that include adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems. Lucia meets clients where they are and partners with them to build coping strategies that fit everyday life. If someone wants to explore next steps, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.

How Lucia's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Lucia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that lead to distress and to practice small experiments that change those patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people name their core values and take steps toward them even when difficult feelings appear. ACT can be helpful for life transitions, chronic stress, and issues that involve avoidance or low motivation.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lucia will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That decision is revisited over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in real-life settings and then discuss what happened at the next meeting.
