About Pneurissa
Pneurissa Stamps is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She also helps people who are wrestling with life purpose concerns and family-of-origin problems.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit what a person needs. Sessions often draw on client-centered work to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness skills for managing strong emotions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and solution-focused steps to set short-term goals.
Pneurissa pays attention to how past wounds and attachment issues shape current struggles. She works with people who have experienced domestic violence, abandonment, dissociation, or shame related to their history. She can also help with panic attacks, mood disorders, and self-harm concerns by combining practical coping strategies with longer-term exploration.
The approach is practical and conversational. Sessions tend to include clear tools, focused problem-solving, and space to reflect on patterns that keep showing up. She integrates conversations about workplace stress, family dynamics, and identity when those come up.
People interested in beginning are asked to complete a short questionnaire before the first session. That helps clarify immediate concerns and possible next steps. Pneurissa works in English and practices in Illinois as an LCPC.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client’s experience, clarifying feelings and priorities so a person feels understood and can name what matters most. This approach is useful for exploring identity, workplace concerns, and motivation for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In sessions clients learn concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic attacks. CBT is often paired with short exercises between sessions to practice new ways of responding.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to manage intense emotions and distress. Simple breathing and awareness exercises are introduced and practiced to reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as those needs change. That process is collaborative and revisited over time.
