About Stacie

Stacie Whitehead is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 11 years of professional experience in North Carolina. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, centered on each person’s strengths and choices.

She encourages small steps that lead to real change and stays focused on what matters most to the client. Stacie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

She also draws on motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation and on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. In sessions she listens, asks direct questions, and helps clients build simple plans they can actually follow. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and communication problems.

She also supports people facing control issues, fertility struggles, isolation or loneliness, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. Mood disorders and veteran and armed forces issues are also part of her experience. Stacie prefers clear, practical steps over long lectures.

Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and paced to the client’s needs. She treats self-love and confidence as skills that can be learned and practiced over time. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that suit different schedules.

For someone looking for direct, skills-based help with parenting or life transitions, Stacie provides steady guidance and practical tools.

How specific approaches work well online

Stacie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase stress and try small, practical behavior changes. CBT is useful when anxiety or low mood come from patterns of thinking that feel stuck.

She also incorporates motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and strengthen their own reasons to change. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Solution-focused techniques then help set clear, short-term goals and identify immediate steps to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Stacie discusses goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then adapts methods to fit each person. The plan can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules or parents managing school and child care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging work for shorter, ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep steady momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in day-to-day life.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
