About Stacie
Stacie Brethauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who centers her work on the person sitting in front of her. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk through hard things and find practical ways forward. Sessions focus on clear, simple coping strategies that fit everyday life.
With 13 years in the mental health field, Stacie has helped people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She also supports clients dealing with relationship challenges, low self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Stacie blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques support steadiness when stress is high.
In sessions she keeps things practical and individualized. Conversations move from understanding what matters to choosing a few strategies to try between meetings. She checks in on what helps and adjusts the plan as needed.
People who work with her can expect direct, caring guidance and tools they can use right away. The emphasis is on small, steady changes that add up. If you want a straightforward, person-focused approach, Stacie aims to help you take that next step.
How different approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment, helping them name what matters and choose goals that feel right. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect reactions to stress and conflict, which can help when relationship history keeps showing up in current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and offers hands-on ways to test and change unhelpful thinking.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they pick methods to try, then review progress and adjust the plan as needed.
For practical matters, confirm the session formats before booking since this biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose sessions that rely more on listening only or that include video when that feels helpful. A licensed professional will help arrange an approach and schedule that suit everyday life and the goals you bring.
