Stacie Borchert, LPC

Stacie Borchert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, and major life shifts. She draws on her own experience living with chronic illness and pain to offer practical support and empathy. Sessions aim to help clients build self-compassion and find manageable ways to move forward.

She offers short, concrete tools for daily stress and longer conversations for deeper issues like depression or substance use. Stacie uses creative, art-based exercises when helpful, such as simple card-making, to help people process difficult feelings. Those techniques are used alongside talk therapy to make emotional work feel more accessible.

Her work centers on meeting people where they are and adjusting pace to each person’s needs. Stacie emphasizes hope, grounded coping strategies, and clearer communication for work and personal life. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress and the overlapping challenges of chronic pain, illness, or disability.

With four years of clinical experience, Stacie brings practical problem-solving to conversations about career strain, isolation, and self-esteem. She helps people address substance use and impulsivity without shaming, and she attends to how prejudice or discrimination may affect mood and life purpose. Her approach blends empathy with skills people can try between sessions.

To begin, Stacie invites people to consider what matters most to them and to move at a comfortable pace. Her goal is to help clients find calmer routines, stronger self-regard, and clearer steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

Approaches that combine practical skills and creative tools

Stacie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside creative, art-based exercises to help people manage stress, anxiety, and substance use concerns. One approach she uses focuses on building concrete coping skills for daily life, such as emotion regulation strategies and step-by-step plans for handling triggers and overwhelming moments. This helps people gain small wins they can practice between sessions.

She also integrates simple creative techniques like card making to help process emotions that are hard to put into words. These exercises are paired with talk-based work so feelings can be explored and then turned into manageable actions. That combination can be useful for chronic pain, caregiver stress, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Stacie works collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. She discusses options, tries techniques together, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
