About Paige

Paige Stanfield-Myers is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She focuses on common family and parenting concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting problems, relationship strains, and coping with life changes. Her tone is warm and straightforward so parents can quickly see if her approach might fit their needs.

She keeps therapy practical and interactive. Sessions aim to teach useful tools that help people manage symptoms and build habits that last.

Background and approach

She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Paige draws on several well-established approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses client-centered methods to listen and follow the client’s lead.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Her style is authentic and collaborative. She checks in about what is and isn’t working and adjusts strategies as needed.

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with skills people can use after sessions end. Based in Missouri, Paige stays current on new techniques and tools. She has experience with a wide range of concerns including autism, ADHD, addiction, caregiver stress, chronic illness, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and issues related to aging.

She encourages anyone taking initial steps toward change and supports a gradual path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Paige often combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy depending on what a person needs. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead, focusing on empathy and understanding to build trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy is more structured and helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs evolve, and adjustments are welcomed.

Online therapy with Paige is offered through several flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work through life transitions or when in-person visits are not possible. The range of formats supports both real-time conversations and brief check-ins between sessions, helping people keep momentum toward their goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
