About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. Her style is direct but gentle, and she aims to make therapy practical and manageable for stressed parents and adults.
Clients often come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Lucia also supports those facing addiction, trauma, sleep problems, bipolar challenges, and caregiving strain.
How Lucia works
She pays attention to identity and LGBT concerns, plus issues like self-esteem and career stress. In sessions she listens carefully and then offers clear tools people can try between meetings. She uses several approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Work may include building new behavior patterns, exploring attachment and relationship patterns, and learning skills for emotion regulation. Her background includes long experience helping people manage major life changes and complicated histories. She draws from evidence-based methods to shape practical steps for recovery and growth.
Clients can expect a steady, collaborative process focused on small, achievable changes. Lucia accepts clients in Florida and from other locations. She offers a mix of communication options to fit busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to values-based actions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, helping people change unhealthy interaction styles and build more stable bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with mood, sleep, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucia will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to decide which methods to prioritize. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is most effective for each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and keep progress moving forward.
