About Stan
Stan Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on practical, talk-based therapy. He draws on a decade of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and related concerns. He speaks English and frames care around each person's needs.
Stan uses plain conversation and structured skills work to address common struggles like sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief, and motivation. He has worked in inpatient mental health settings and has clinical experience with severe mental illness, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, alongside mood and depressive conditions.
How Stan works
Sessions are customized to the person in front of him. He listens first, then builds a plan that fits daily life and personal goals. That plan might include behavior-based practice, mindfulness exercises, or learning new ways to handle strong emotions.
Stan also helps people with relationship and communication challenges, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and substance problems. He pays attention to topics such as body image, eating and food-related concerns, dissociation, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.
Stan invites clients to try small steps toward change and offers steady support through setbacks. The goal is clearer choices and better coping in everyday life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone wants clearer life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical ways to shift patterns that maintain distress. It is helpful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and many everyday struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns and try methods that fit the client's goals and comfort. Over time the plan can be adjusted if a different mix of tools would work better for coping, relationships, or mood management.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use written tools when that feels easier. These options make it simpler to use ACT, CBT, or DBT skills in real life and keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
