About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or big life changes. Lucia offers calm, steady support and practical steps people can use between sessions.
She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful memories, relationship patterns, and everyday stressors. Conversations focus on building clearer self-understanding and coping skills that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Lucia uses a mix of approaches depending on the situation. She pulls from cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking, dialectical skill-building for emotional regulation, and attachment-informed work to look at relationship patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas appear in goal-setting and values work as needed. Her background includes two decades of work with people facing trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, caregiver stress, and challenges around intimacy and identity. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, career crossroads, and sleep or anger problems.
Lucia adapts her methods to match each person's strengths and needs. Clients can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and collaborative planning. Lucia helps people try practical tools, track what works, and adjust the plan over time so progress feels steady and realistic.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Lucia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood because it teaches concrete strategies to change thoughts and routines. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. That approach helps people who struggle with intimacy, communication, and recurring relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. She treats this as a team effort, adjusting methods as progress and feedback guide the plan.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent when life gets busy.
