About Stacy
Stacy Mitchell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of clinical experience in California. She uses straightforward, goal-focused therapy to help people work through stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Parents and adults seeking help with parenting concerns, family tension, or changes in life will find practical strategies and steady support.
Stacy emphasizes clear steps and realistic goals so progress feels manageable. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, try small experiments, and build new coping skills. Stacy also addresses issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, and attention challenges like ADHD.
Stacy treats matters that often come up around identity and relationships, including LGBT-related concerns, as well as feelings of isolation, questions about life purpose, and learning to practice self-love. Her approach blends practical tools with supportive listening so clients leave with tangible next steps.
She works with families and individuals who want clear guidance, respectful conversation, and a plan they can follow between sessions. Stacy encourages people to name their goals and measures progress together. Her style is direct but warm, focusing on what will help in everyday life.
How CBT and online sessions support family and parenting needs
Stacy primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that make problems worse. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, improving sleep, reducing anger, and addressing mood struggles by teaching practical skills to use between sessions.Her work is collaborative - she helps each person or family figure out which strategies fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps, adjust approaches, and set small steps clients can try at home. Finding the right mix of tools is part of the therapeutic process and is decided with the client's needs in mind.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to keep momentum, follow through on skills, and fit sessions into busy family schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
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.
