About Stacy
Stacy Mitchell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with depression, and regain confidence. Stacy also supports those working through trauma, substance issues, relationship struggles, and concerns about intimacy and sleep.
She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice what is holding them back and try different ways of responding.
How Stacy works
Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and practicing new skills between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a key part of her approach because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions in clear steps. Stacy helps people who are grappling with family conflict, parenting strain, the effects of grief, or life transitions that feel overwhelming.
She also works with people facing ADHD-related challenges, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Work in therapy can include learning coping tools, improving communication, and setting achievable goals. The first sessions are used to hear the story and set practical goals together.
From there Stacy tailors each plan to match a person’s pace and priorities. She emphasizes small, doable changes that build confidence over time. Stacy aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can try new ways of dealing with old problems.
She encourages steady progress and gives clear, hands-on guidance to help people move forward.

Online support options
CBT and practical strategies delivered online
Stacy’s main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT helps people spot patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions, then try small experiments to change unhelpful habits. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and ADHD-related challenges.The right method is something to find together. Stacy works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, needs, and day-to-day realities. She will discuss options, try approaches that fit, and adjust plans based on what works for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a face-to-face rhythm, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, or busy schedules while keeping focus on practical progress and skill building.
