About Stacie

Stacie Story is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and transitions in life.

Background and approach

With three decades of clinical practice, she guides clients through concerns ranging from self-esteem and parenting challenges to grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, and career-related stress. Her work also addresses intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and the everyday effects of isolation or life-purpose questions.

Stacie combines client-centered listening with practical, skills-oriented methods to help individuals build coping strategies and clearer communication. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and solution-focused techniques to support emotional regulation, problem solving, and goal-driven change.

Her practice pays special attention to women's issues, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and family-of-origin dynamics. Stacie aims to create a collaborative setting where clients can explore values, strengthen resilience, and pursue meaningful personal growth.

Approach and Options for Online Therapy

Stacie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and a supportive environment that helps people explore values, self-worth, and relationship concerns. These approaches work together to address both immediate challenges and longer-term personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Stacie partners with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts interventions so they fit the client's life and priorities. This flexibility allows for skill development, problem-solving, and an emphasis on what the client wants to achieve in therapy.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different comfort levels and schedules. This range of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, travel, or when in-person options are limited, while allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily routines.
