About Stacie
Stacie Armstrong helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and career stress. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
Stacie is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 20 years of experience. She practices in Texas and holds a license in Arkansas as well. She aims to make sessions feel approachable and nonjudgmental so people can talk about hard things without feeling criticized.
How Stacie works
In sessions she draws on several methods to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people build a life around their values rather than just trying to avoid pain.
Attachment-based work is part of her toolbox when relationship patterns and trust issues matter. Dialectical skills are used when strong emotions or relationship conflicts create repeated problems. She keeps language simple and focuses on skills people can try between sessions.
Stacie also brings experience supporting people with abandonment history, adoption and foster care concerns, aging issues, and chronic illness or pain. She works with clients facing codependency, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. The goal is always practical relief and clearer next steps.
To begin, she asks a few questions to learn what matters most and then builds a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

Online support options
Approach choices and online therapy options
Stacie uses several well-established methods to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship experiences shape current patterns of connection and trust, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stacie works collaboratively to identify which methods best fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and texting allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written support during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
