About Stacia

Stacia Crawford is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 12 years of experience. She draws on long experience supporting people facing trauma, family struggles, anxiety, and mood concerns. Stacia focuses on practical changes parents and adults can use right away.

She aims to listen first, then help people build skills that fit everyday life. Her approach is collaborative and steady. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to each person. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help manage strong emotions and stress in the moment. Stacia has worked extensively with trauma and abuse histories and with people navigating grief, bipolar mood issues, and self-harm concerns.

She also brings experience with ADHD, attachment questions, adoption and foster care issues, and autism and Asperger syndrome. Communication problems and family problems are areas she helps people talk through and untangle. In sessions she aims for clear goals and concrete tools.

That can mean skills for anger and impulsivity, strategies to reduce anxiety, or steps to improve self-esteem and life purpose. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people set achievable next steps. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

The subscription-based model allows clients to cancel at any time. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and invites clients to set the agenda, which helps when sorting family stresses or personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that worsen anxiety, low mood, or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist starts by asking about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they test methods and adjust plans so the work matches the client's needs and pace.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These formats allow regular check-ins, homework review, and quick skill practice between meetings. The flexibility can help parents and caregivers keep continuity while juggling schedules, and it supports steady progress through short, focused steps.

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.

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.
