Lucia Stanfield

Lucia Stanfield, LMHC, helps people who are dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She brings 20 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. Her style is steady and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel understood and find workable steps forward.

Clients meet a therapist who emphasizes practical change. Sessions focus on understanding what drives strong emotions and on building skills to respond differently. Lucia listens closely, then helps clients try concrete tools that fit their life and goals.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns from addiction and trauma to self-esteem and career stress. She also supports people facing grief, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and changes like adoption or aging. Anger and intimacy-related issues are part of the clinical areas she addresses.

Lucia uses several evidence-based approaches to shape the work. That includes acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based ideas about relationships, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She adapts these methods to what each person needs.

Sessions move at a pace the client can manage. Lucia emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s values and life context. Her aim is to help people build clearer insight, better emotion regulation, and practical steps that make daily life easier.

How Lucia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that fit their values. This can help with anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions, which is useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, a practical approach for mood, stress, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lucia works collaboratively to assess what fits each person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people work from a quieter space when needed. It can also make it possible to meet across different locations, including for international clients. Lucia aims to make sessions practical and applicable to daily life, whether addressing anger, coping skills, or relationship patterns.
