About Stacee
Stacee Compton is a licensed professional counselor - mental health who brings 15 years of experience to her work. She practices in South Dakota and has focused much of her career on family and parenting concerns. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents and family members manage stress, behavior, and relationship issues.
She has supported children, adolescents, and adults through anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief.
Background and approach
Stacee also works with families facing adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, and parenting strain. She pays close attention to attachment and communication patterns that often shape family life. In sessions she matches her approach to the person in front of her.
That can mean using attachment-based ideas to strengthen bonds, client-centered listening to reflect what matters most, or mindfulness tools to calm intense moments. She believes the relationship between the therapist and client is a key part of progress. Stacee aims to create a space where parents and caregivers can talk through difficult feelings without judgment.
She focuses on practical steps that families can try between sessions. She encourages small, manageable changes that build confidence and ease daily strain. Her background includes work with childhood behavioral disorders, disruptive mood challenges, and caregiver stress.
Parents who want clear guidance on communication, boundaries, and coping strategies may find her approach useful.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape a person's sense of safety and connection. It helps caregivers and children improve trust, reduce conflict, and rebuild stable patterns in day-to-day family life.Client-Centered Therapy is built on listening and reflection. The therapist follows the parent's or child's lead, offering empathy and feedback so people can find their own solutions to problems like communication breakdowns or parenting stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. These tools can help calm anxiety, manage strong emotions, and make it easier to respond rather than react during tense family moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the family about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to emphasize attachment work, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, or a mix of these.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and coach parents in real time. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school days, work hours, and caregiving routines while keeping the focus on accessible support.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
