About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, addiction, or big life changes. Her tone is straightforward and warm, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most. Sessions focus on building self-understanding and practical ways to cope with day-to-day stress. Lucia supports work on issues such as codependency, parenting strain, career stress, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, mood disorders, and family-related difficulties. She uses several approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. That means combining strategies that help with thoughts, emotions, and behavior as appropriate.
Lucia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-informed ideas when those fit a person’s goals. She also uses client-centered and emotion-focused practices to keep the work grounded in each person's values. Sessions aim to increase practical coping skills and steady progress over time.
People who choose Lucia can expect a collaborative, goal-oriented process. She works with each person to set clear steps and teaches skills to manage symptoms and relationship patterns. The focus is on realistic change that fits everyday life.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, depression, codependency, and getting unstuck from old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments and behavioral changes, which can reduce worry and improve sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping people understand why they repeat certain interaction styles and how to change them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try options and adjust the plan so the work feels useful and realistic for daily life.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Therapists and licensed professionals often use the same therapeutic techniques online as in person, adapting exercises and homework so progress continues between sessions.
