About Stacy

Stacy Herman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She trained with a Master of Arts in Education and has spent time working in community-based clinics and school settings, supporting people navigating family conflict, parenting questions, depression, anxiety, stress, autism-related concerns, communication challenges, and self-esteem issues. Her background bridges educational settings and mental health practice, which informs a practical, skills-focused approach to care.

Stacy describes her style as down-to-earth and truthful, offering compassion while encouraging clients to explore how their thinking shapes their sense of self. She integrates client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral ideas and other therapeutic methods to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop workable strategies.

Stacy emphasizes collaboration and supports clients in defining what “being their best” means, then works with them to build the skills and perspective shifts needed to move toward those goals.

Based in South Dakota, she offers a warm, straightforward presence for people seeking to address stress, relationships, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, and broader life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Stacy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often applied to concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes a respectful, empathetic relationship and supports people in exploring their goals at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy is used as well to build present-moment awareness and coping skills for managing emotions and reactivity.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Stacy works with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, values, and goals, and she adjusts strategies over time so treatment feels practical and relevant. She aims to help clients experiment with techniques and settle on what supports meaningful change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to fit sessions into varied schedules. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy, while allowing different communication styles to be used depending on the client's comfort and the work at hand.
