About Stacy
Stacy Herman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who brings seven years of practice to her work in South Dakota. She earned a Master of Arts in Education from Chadron State College and holds credentials as LCPC and LPC. Stacy began in school settings and community clinics, and that experience shaped her focus on family and parenting concerns.
She speaks English and provides care through video, phone, chat, and text formats.
Background and approach
Stacy aims to create a calm, down-to-earth space where people feel heard. She listens closely and offers straightforward feedback. Sessions focus on the things that make daily life harder, like stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or anger, and practical ways to cope.
Her work often addresses family dynamics, parenting challenges, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, chronic illness, and transitions like divorce or blended family adjustments. Stacy pays attention to attachment, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress when those factors are part of a client’s story.
Stacy uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices for grounding, narrative work to reframe stories, and motivational interviewing to support change. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps and work that fits into busy lives.
To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability. Fees vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist follows the client’s lead and builds understanding through reflective, nonjudgmental conversation. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short homework to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. CBT works well for people who want concrete tools to use between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and ground a person in the present moment. These techniques can help with anxiety, anger, and sleep difficulties and are easy to practice during or after an online session.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or adapt methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Plans change as needs evolve, and strategies are adjusted together over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins and steady progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and family routines while still using the same therapeutic methods.
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.
