About Lucia
Lucia Stanfield is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, trauma, and parenting stress. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making hard conversations easier to manage.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental setting where people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on building everyday skills - sleep habits, stress management, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Lucia helps people develop steps they can actually try between sessions.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also addresses longer-term patterns like attachment issues, codependency, and commitment worries. Lucia supports people navigating chronic illness, caregiver strain, aging concerns, and the effects of adoption or abandonment.
Lucia blends several evidence-informed approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and move toward them even when emotions are painful.
She also brings attachment-based and client-centered perspectives, focusing on relationships and the person in the room. Dialectical behavior strategies are available when stronger emotion-regulation skills are needed. Together with each person, she builds a plan that fits their goals and day-to-day life.

Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on the person’s goals, concerns, and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and can shift as needs change. Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people access consistent care across time zones when international arrangements are needed.Part 3 of 4
