About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frightened by everyday life. She focuses on practical support for anxiety, depression, relationship worries, and phobias. Lucia aims to make therapy feel direct and doable for busy parents and adults.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and try out new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change. Lucia listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then helps build small, realistic steps toward relief. Her work covers many concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems, and stress from caregiving or work.
She also addresses identity questions, intimacy-related worries, and attention challenges such as ADHD. Lucia pays attention to how early attachment and life events shape current struggles. In sessions she uses approaches that balance practical skills with deeper emotional work.
That can mean learning tools to manage strong feelings, slowing down to understand relationship patterns, or practicing new behaviors until they feel natural. Clients set the pace and goals. Lucia has spent two decades refining ways to make therapy useful and straightforward.
She guides people toward clearer choices, stronger coping, and steadier day-to-day functioning. Her aim is to help clients feel more capable of handling life’s changes and setbacks.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lucia often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises, which is useful for anxiety, phobias, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotion regulation, which helps with intimacy issues, grief, and ongoing relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lucia will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then try approaches that match those needs. She works together with clients to adjust methods over time so the plan feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video gives a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings and use brief exchanges for coaching or skill practice. These formats make it easier to get regular support and to use techniques in daily life.
