About Stan
Stan Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and addiction-related concerns. He brings ten years of clinical experience working with a wide range of mood and behavior issues. Stan aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can begin to make changes.
He draws on practical methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and build skills for daily life.
Background and approach
Stan often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that feed anxiety and depression. He also incorporates acceptance-based and mindfulness approaches to help people tolerate strong feelings when they arise. Stan has experience in inpatient mental health settings and has supported people with serious mental health diagnoses, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
That background informs his careful, steady approach when a person faces intense symptoms or crisis-level concerns. He adapts the pace and focus based on what someone needs in the moment. Sessions are collaborative and tailored.
Stan listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. He works with issues such as trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, substance use, body image, and sleep problems among others. People who choose work with him can expect straightforward talk and concrete skills to use between sessions.
The aim is to reduce distress and increase the ability to handle life changes. Stan emphasizes respect and sensitivity throughout the process.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Stan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that drive anxiety and depression. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches skills to reduce symptoms over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another part of his practice; it focuses on clarifying values and learning ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. Client-Centered Therapy also informs his work by keeping the conversation focused on the person's experience and goals, with empathy and listening at the center.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will help clients try methods and decide what fits their needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor tools and goals so therapy feels relevant and practical for each person.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or work better when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and messaging provide short check-ins, skill practice, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy during workdays, caregiving responsibilities, or when travel would otherwise be a barrier.
