About Stan
Stan Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions while supporting issues like parenting, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. He uses straightforward conversations to identify what feels most urgent and practical.
Sessions center on real-life steps - small changes in thinking, behavior, and daily routines that add up over time. Stan adapts the pace to each person and focuses on clear goals people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
His background includes work in inpatient mental health settings where he supported people with severe mental illness, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. That experience shaped his calm, steady approach to crisis and long-term care alike. He aims to meet clients where they are and build on strengths they already have.
Stan draws from several therapeutic styles, such as cognitive behavioral ideas to reshape unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment concepts to clarify values and action, and client-centered listening to make space for each person’s perspective. He explains tools plainly and practices them together with clients in sessions. People who reach out can expect practical problem-solving and honest conversation.
Stan frames therapy as a collaborative effort and focuses on steps that fit daily life. He encourages small, achievable progress toward a more manageable and meaningful life.
How online therapy and specific approaches work together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, committed actions toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation by shifting attention from avoidance to meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and many everyday struggles. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy, giving people space to describe their experience while the therapist reflects and supports their self-directed growth.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and daily realities and then suggest strategies to try. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the plan fits the person rather than forcing one method.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversations and skill practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
