About Stan
Stan Peck is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and relationship and family concerns. He also helps people who are coping with life changes and those exploring questions of purpose and direction.
He has worked in inpatient mental health settings and has experience supporting people with serious mood disorders, including bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, as well as with psychosis in some cases. That background shapes a steady, practical approach to day-to-day problems.
Stan uses several evidence-informed approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and build small, workable steps toward meaningful action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop different responses. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and client-centered methods to focus on coping skills and real conversation.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Stan listens to what matters most, then works with the person to set short-term goals and practiceable skills. He supports work on parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, body image, addiction, grief, and career-related concerns.
People looking for help with life purpose, coping after change, or persistent low mood can expect straightforward, practical work. To begin, follow the site's process to view online therapy options and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to the person and taking small, consistent steps toward those values. It can help when someone feels stuck after a life change or uncertain about career and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete techniques to shift them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping and communication.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Stan will talk about goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit the person’s situation. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life because they remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and make it simpler to continue work after a move or schedule change. Licensed professionals can use CBT or ACT exercises in remote sessions just as they do in person, focusing on small, practical skills the person can practice between meetings.
