Stacie Story, LPC

Stacie Story is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and challenges in relationships and family life. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at practical steps clients can use each week.

Stacie helps people tackle self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, caregiver burnout, and the emotional fallout from grief or major life changes. She also supports those coping with depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice pays attention to women’s issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and the isolation that can come with major life transitions.

Her work draws on client-centered principles that value each person’s perspective. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to manage intense emotions. Solution-focused methods help clients set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.

Sessions aim to strengthen communication, mend family-of-origin patterns, and clarify life purpose. Stacie often blends practical skills with reflective conversation so clients leave with both insight and action steps. She describes her role as someone who walks alongside people as they navigate change.

People considering therapy are encouraged to think about their immediate goals and stressors before a first session. Stacie works in English and draws on three decades of experience to tailor an approach that fits each person’s needs.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and builds a working relationship that supports change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT gives clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and can adjust the plan as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote work useful for shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands, and easier scheduling around caregiving or work commitments.
