About Lucia

Lucia Stanfield is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain, stress, and parenting concerns. Lucia also focuses on blended family issues and other family-related challenges.

She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage symptoms and make clearer decisions. Sessions often involve identifying patterns, trying new behavior strategies, and building routines that fit daily life. Lucia blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Attachment-based ideas inform her work when relationships and past losses affect present behavior. That approach looks at how early connections shape current reactions and helps people change interaction habits. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and stress tolerance are the main concerns.

Lucia helps people who are navigating the role of a stepparent, merging households, co-parenting with an ex, or handling loyalty conflicts in blended families. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, career stress, and caregiver strain. Her work includes practical planning for sleep, anger management, and daily coping skills.

For those considering therapy, she asks clear questions about goals and daily routines. Then she and the client try methods that can be used between sessions. Lucia accepts international clients and conducts sessions from Florida as an FL LMHC.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-based ideas, or DBT skills are most useful for a particular concern.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and behavior plans to work in daily life so therapy tools can be practiced between meetings.
