About Lucia

Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She supports adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, grief, and identity concerns. Lucia works with people facing life transitions, caregiving strain, and the aftereffects of trauma. She also helps those affected by addiction, ADHD, and issues tied to adoption and foster care.

Her sessions focus on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak plainly about what feels hardest. She aims to help people build clearer self-understanding and practical ways to cope day to day. Conversations usually center on skills you can use between visits and small steps toward change.

Lucia draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior tools and a client-centered stance guide how she meets people in session.

Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, trauma, workplace stress, and sexual identity issues. This includes supporting people who struggle with abandonment, blended family challenges, chronic health concerns, and caregiving stress. Lucia aims to respect each client's history and cultural context while focusing on practical progress.

If you want to explore whether she'd be a good match, the first step is a brief intake to share your goals and current concerns. That conversation helps set a collaborative plan and decide what comes next.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lucia often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.

She also applies acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. ACT works well for life transitions, chronic stress, and coping with difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences, and day-to-day challenges, then recommend techniques that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. Licensed professionals can guide you on how to structure sessions so therapeutic skills transfer into everyday life.
