Stacy Vernon, LPC

Stacy Vernon is an LPC with 23 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on emotional wellness and practical steps people can use when life feels overwhelming. Stacy listens without judgment and meets each person where they are.

She guides people through depression, grief, and major life changes using straightforward methods. Sessions emphasize building day-to-day coping skills, improving sleep, and managing work-related strain. Stacy also supports people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to chronic illness or disability.

Her approach blends Client-Centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, while also trying small, concrete changes and noticing what helps in the moment. Exercises are practical and aimed at reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Stacy has worked with concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, relationship stress, career transitions, and seasonal mood changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife shifts. People who are visually impaired or living with traumatic brain injury are among the issues she has experience with.

Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. The goal is to help people develop tools they can use outside sessions, regain a clearer sense of direction, and feel steadier in daily routines.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows the person’s priorities to set goals together. It is helpful for people feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. Sessions use simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach is practical for stress, sleep problems, and mood challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing the present moment with less judgment. Short awareness practices and grounding techniques are used to reduce rumination and improve calm. These practices can be helpful alongside other work on coping and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend ways to blend approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so they match your needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep workday check-ins brief. Ask about specific scheduling and formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
