About Stacia

Stacia Gilstrap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports those coping with depression, sleep or eating struggles, parenting strain, and big life changes. Her style is warm and respectful, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood as they work toward practical change.

Stacia uses an attachment-informed view to make sense of how past relationships shape current reactions.

Background and approach

She combines that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take manageable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions focus on short, clear goals and everyday tools people can try between meetings.

Stacia listens first, then helps craft a plan that fits each person’s life and priorities. She avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and adjusts methods based on what’s working. Stacia brings five years of counseling experience and works under her Missouri LPC credential.

She offers appointments by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process. Many clients seek her help for abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, and work-related compassion fatigue.

She also addresses mood disorders, panic and OCD symptoms, ADHD-related concerns, and the emotional effects of medical issues like cancer.

Online support

How attachment work and skills fit with online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns. It can help with fears around abandonment, trust, and emotional reactivity by tracing patterns and trying new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable feelings. ACT is useful when people feel stuck by anxiety, grief, or life transitions and want a clearer sense of direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend or blend methods. That process is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer discussions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when being off camera helps focus. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for shorter check-ins or when someone needs support between longer sessions. These options help people fit counseling into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while using the therapeutic tools discussed above.
