About Stacee

Stacee Compton is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) in South Dakota with 15 years of experience. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and communication problems, and parenting issues.

She has extensive experience with blended and adoptive families and with childhood behavioral disorders. Her practice includes helping people manage grief, caregiver stress, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and issues tied to family of origin and attachment.

Her approach centers on building a working relationship and adapting methods to each person. Sessions are practical and focused on what is happening now. She listens to how family roles and routines affect daily life and helps people sort through loyalty conflicts and parenting strains that come with blending households.

Stacee uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. Mindfulness and narrative tools are included to help with overwhelming feelings and to reframe personal stories.

Clients can expect a clear, down-to-earth style and a plan that addresses both immediate coping and longer-term patterns. She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress one step at a time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. Online, this means noticing how clients relate to others and to the therapist, then practicing new ways of responding to family stress or loyalty conflicts. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. Sessions emphasize listening, reflecting, and helping the client set goals that matter to them, which can be useful for parents and stepparents sorting out immediate problems.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices for staying grounded in the moment. It helps when anxiety or strong emotions make decision-making or parenting harder. These approaches are used collaboratively; the therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right mix is part of the work rather than a one-time choice.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. The therapist will discuss practical session arrangements when scheduling to match the client's routine and goals.
